gss_release_cred(3GSS)				  Generic Security Services API Library Functions			    gss_release_cred(3GSS)

NAME
       gss_release_cred - discard a credential handle

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss  [ library... ]
       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_release_cred(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
	    gss_cred_id_t *cred_handle);

DESCRIPTION
       The gss_release_cred() function informs the GSS-API that the specified credential handle is no longer required by the application and frees
       the associated resources. The cred_handle parameter is set to GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL when this call completes successfully.

PARAMETERS
       The parameter descriptions for gss_release_cred() follow:

       minor_status    A mechanism specific status code.

       cred_handle     An opaque handle that identifies the credential to be released. If GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL is specified, the gss_release_cred()
		       function will complete successfully, but it will do nothing.

ERRORS
       gss_release_cred() may return the following status codes:

       GSS_S_COMPLETE	 Successful completion.

       GSS_S_NO_CRED	 The referenced credentials cannot be accessed.

       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.
