NAME
     gssreleaseoid - release an object identifier

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

     gssreleaseoid(OMuint32 *minorstatus, const gssOID *oid);


DESCRIPTION
     The gssreleaseoid() function deletes an OID. Such  an  OID
     might have been created with gssstrtooid().


     Since creating and deleting individual OIDs is  discouraged,
     it  is  preferable  to  use  gssreleaseoidset()  if it is
     necessary to deallocate a set of OIDs.

PARAMETERS
     The parameter descriptions for gssreleaseoid() are as fol-
     lows:

     minorstatus    A mechanism-specific status code.


     oid             The object identifier of the mechanism to be
                     deleted.


ERORS
     gssreleaseoid() returns one of 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.

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