NAME
     gssreleasebuffer - free  buffer  storage  allocated  by  a
     GS-API function

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

     OMuint32 gssreleasebuffer(OMuint32 *minorstatus, gssbuffertbuffer);


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

PARAMETERS
     The parameter descriptions for gssreleasebuffer() follow:

     minorstatus    Mechanism-specific status code.


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


ERORS
     The gssreleasebuffer() function may return  the  following
     status codes:

     GSCOMPLETE    Successful completion


     GSFAILURE     The underlying mechanism detected an error
                       for  which  no specific GS status code is
                       defined.   The  mechanism-specific  status
                       code reported by means of the minorstatus
                       parameter details the error condition.
