NAME

SYNOPSIS

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

12       gss_release_oid(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_OID *oid);

DESCRIPTION

16       The  gss_release_oid()  function deletes an OID. Such an OID might have
17       been created with gss_str_to_oid().
18
19
20       Since creating and deleting  individual  OIDs  is  discouraged,  it  is
21       preferable  to  use gss_release_oid_set() if it is necessary to deallo‐
22       cate a set of OIDs.
23

PARAMETERS

25       The parameter descriptions for gss_release_oid() are as follows:
26
27       minor_status    A mechanism-specific status code.
28
29
30       oid             The object identifier of the mechanism to be deleted.
31
32

ERRORS

34       gss_release_oid() returns one of the following status codes:
35
36       GSS_S_COMPLETE    Successful completion.
37
38
39       GSS_S_FAILURE     The underlying mechanism detected an error for  which
40                         no  specific  GSS status code is defined.  The mecha‐
41                         nism-specific status code reported by  means  of  the
42                         minor_status parameter details the error condition.

WARNINGS

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