NAME
gss_release_oid - release an object identifier SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss [ library... ] #include <gssapi/gssapi.h> gss_release_oid(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_OID *oid); DESCRIPTION
The gss_release_oid() function deletes an OID. Such an OID might have been created with gss_str_to_oid(). Since creating and deleting individual OIDs is discouraged, it is preferable to use gss_release_oid_set() if it is necessary to deallocate a set of OIDs. PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_release_oid() are as follows: minor_status A mechanism-specific status code. oid The object identifier of the mechanism to be deleted. ERRORS
gss_release_oid() returns one of the following status codes: GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion. GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined. The mechanism-specific sta- tus code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition. ATTRIBUTES

This function is included for compatibility only with programs using earlier versions of the GSS-API and should not be used for new pro- grams. Other implementations of the GSS-API might not support this function, so portable programs should not rely on it. Sun might not con- tinue to support this function.

NAME
gss_release_oid_set - free storage associated with a GSS-API-generated gss_OID_set object SYNOPSIS
cc -flag ... file ...-lgss [library ...] #include <gssapi/gssapi.h> OM_uint32 gss_release_oid_set(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_OID_set *set); DESCRIPTION
The gss_release_oid_set() function frees 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 function. The gss_release_oid_set() function will free the storage associated with each individ- ual member OID, the OID set's elements array, and gss_OID_set_desc. gss_OID_set is set to GSS_C_NO_OID_SET on successful completion of this function. PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_release_oid_set() follow: minor_status A mechanism-specific status code set Storage associated with the gss_OID_set will be deleted ERRORS
The gss_release_oid_set() function may return the following status codes: GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined. The mechanism-spe- cific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition. ATTRIBUTES
