NAME

       dat_psp_free - destroy an instance of the Public Service Point

SYNOPSIS

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

       DAT_RETURN
	   dat_psp_free (
	   IN	 DAT_PSP_HANDLE    psp_handle
	   )

PARAMETERS

       psp_handle    Handle for an instance of the Public Service Point.

DESCRIPTION

       The dat_psp_free() function destroys a specified instance of the Public Service Point.

       Any  incoming  Connection  Requests  for the Connection Qualifier on the destroyed Service Point it had been 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 has been 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 shall have no effect on previously generated Connection Requested Events. This includes Connection  Request  instances  and,
       potentially, Endpoint instances created by the Provider.

       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.

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

RETURN VALUES

       DAT_SUCCESS	     The operation was successful.

       DAT_INVALID_HANDLE    The psp_handle parameter is invalid.
