NAME
     gss_release_buffer - free  buffer  storage  allocated  by  a
     GSS-API function

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss  [ library... ]
     #include 

     OM_uint32 gss_release_buffer(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_buffer_tbuffer);


DESCRIPTION
      The  gss_release_buffer()  function  frees  buffer  storage
     allocated  by  a  GSS-API function. The gss_release_buffer()
     function also zeros the length field in  the  descriptor  to
     which  the  buffer parameter refers, while the GSS-API func-
     tion sets the pointer field in the descriptor to  NULL.  Any
     buffer  object  returned by a GSS-API function may be passed
     to gss_release_buffer(), even if no  storage  is  associated
     with the buffer.

PARAMETERS
     The parameter descriptions for gss_release_buffer() follow:

     minor_status    Mechanism-specific status code.


     buffer          The storage associated with the buffer  will
                     be  deleted.   The  gss_buffer_desc() object
                     will not be freed; however, its length field
                     will be zeroed.


ERRORS
     The gss_release_buffer() 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-specific  status
                       code reported by means of the minor_status
                       parameter details the error condition.
