NAME
      tfree - free a library structure

SYNOPSIS
      #include <tiuser.h>

      int tfree(ptr, structtype)
      char *ptr;
      int structtype;

DESCRIPTION
      The tfree function frees memory previously allocated by talloc.  This
      function will free memory for the specified structure, and will also free
      memory for buffers referenced by the structure.

      ptr points to one of the six structure types described for talloc, and
      structtype identifies the type of that structure, which can be one of
      the following:

      TBIND           struct tbind

      TCALL           struct tcall

      TOPTMGMT        struct toptmgmt

      TDIS            struct tdiscon

      TUNITDATA       struct tunitdata

      TUDERROR        struct tuderr

      TINFO           struct tinfo

      where each of these structures is used as an argument to one or more
      transport functions.

      tfree will check the addr, opt, and udata fields of the given structure
      (as appropriate), and free the buffers pointed to by the buf field of the
      netbuf [see intro(3N)] structure.  If buf is NULL, tfree will not
      attempt to free memory.  After all buffers are freed, tfree will free
      the memory associated with the structure pointed to by ptr.

      Undefined results will occur if ptr or any of the buf pointers points to
      a block of memory that was not previously allocated by talloc.

      On failure, terrno may be set to the following:

      TSYSERR        A system error has occurred during execution of this
                     function.

DIAGNOSTICS
      tfree returns 0 on success and -1 on failure and terrno is set to
      indicate the error.
