21 The \fBgss_release_buffer()\fR function frees buffer storage allocated by a
22 \fBGSS-API\fR function. The \fBgss_release_buffer()\fR function also zeros the
23 length field in the descriptor to which the buffer parameter refers, while the
24 \fBGSS-API\fR function sets the pointer field in the descriptor to \fBNULL\fR.
25 Any buffer object returned by a \fBGSS-API\fR function may be passed to
26 \fBgss_release_buffer()\fR, even if no storage is associated with the buffer.
30 The parameter descriptions for \fBgss_release_buffer()\fR follow:
34 \fB\fIminor_status\fR\fR
37 Mechanism-specific status code.
46 The storage associated with the buffer will be deleted. The
47 \fBgss_buffer_desc()\fR object will not be freed; however, its length field
54 The \fBgss_release_buffer()\fR function may return the following status codes:
58 \fB\fBGSS_S_COMPLETE\fR\fR
67 \fB\fBGSS_S_FAILURE\fR\fR
70 The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific \fBGSS\fR
71 status code is defined. The mechanism-specific status code reported by means
72 of the \fIminor_status\fR parameter details the error condition.
