NAME

       dat_rsp_free - destroy an instance of the Reserved Service Point

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
       #include <dat/udat.h>

       DAT_RETURN
	   dat_rsp_free (
	   IN	 DAT_RSP_HANDLE    rsp_handle
	   )

PARAMETERS

       rsp_handle      Handle for an instance of the Reserved Service Point.

DESCRIPTION

       The dat_rsp_free() function destroys a specified instance of the Reserved Service Point.

       Any incoming Connection Requests for the Connection Qualifier on the destroyed Service Point was listening on are automatically rejected by
       the Provider with the return analogous to the no listening Service Point.

       The behavior of the Connection Requests in progress is undefined and left to an implementation, but it must be consistent. This means  that
       either a Connection Requested Event was generated for the Event Dispatcher associated with the Service Point, including the creation of the
       Connection Request instance, or the Connection Request is rejected by the Provider without any local notification.

       This operation has no effect on previously generated Connection Request Event and Connection Request.

       The behavior of this operation with creation of a Service Point on the same Connection Qualifier at the same time is not defined. Consumers
       are advised to avoid this scenario.

       For  the  Reserved  Service  Point, the Consumer-provided Endpoint reverts to Consumer control. Consumers shall be aware that due to a race
       condition, this Reserved Service Point might have generated a Connection Request Event and passed the associated Endpoint to a Consumer	in
       it.

       Use of the handle of the destroyed Service Point in any consequent operation fails.

RETURN VALUES

       DAT_SUCCESS	       The operation was successful.

       DAT_INVALID_HANDLE      The rsp_handle parameter is invalid.
