71c0b9f4feSDoug Rabson.Sh DESCRIPTION
72c0b9f4feSDoug RabsonFree storage associated with a buffer.
73c0b9f4feSDoug RabsonThe storage must have been allocated by a GSS-API routine.
74c0b9f4feSDoug RabsonIn addition to freeing the associated storage,
75c0b9f4feSDoug Rabsonthe routine will zero the length field in the descriptor to which the
76c0b9f4feSDoug Rabsonbuffer parameter refers,
77c0b9f4feSDoug Rabsonand implementations are encouraged to additionally set the pointer
78c0b9f4feSDoug Rabsonfield in the descriptor to
79c0b9f4feSDoug Rabson.Dv NULL .
80c0b9f4feSDoug RabsonAny buffer object returned by a GSS-API routine may be passed to
81c0b9f4feSDoug Rabson.Fn gss_release_buffer
82c0b9f4feSDoug Rabson(even if there is no storage associated with the buffer).
