NAME
     gss_release_oid - release an object identifier

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

     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 fol-
     lows:

     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  status
                       code reported by means of the minor_status
                       parameter details the error condition.

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