gss_release_oid_set —

Discard a set of object identifiers

SYNOPSIS

#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

OM_uint32
gss_release_oid_set(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_OID_set *set);

DESCRIPTION

Free storage associated with a GSS-API generated gss_OID_set object. The set parameter must refer to an OID-set that was returned from a GSS-API routine. gss_release_oid_set() will free the storage associated with each individual member OID, the OID set's elements array, and the gss_OID_set_desc itself.

Implementations are encouraged to set the gss_OID_set parameter to GSS_C_NO_OID_SET on successful completion of this routine.

PARAMETERS

minor_status: Mechanism specific status code.
set: The storage associated with the gss_OID_set will be deleted.

RETURN VALUES

GSS_S_COMPLETE: Successful completion
