<p>The <strong>gss_release_buffer()</strong> function releases storage
associated with a gss_buffer_t buffer. The gss_buffer_desc structure itself is
not released.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>minor_status</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Output)</dt>
<dd>A status code from the security mechanism.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>buffer</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Input/Output)</dt>
<dd>The buffer to be released. Upon successful completion, the <em>length</em>
and <em>value</em> fields are set to zero.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<p>The return value is one of the following status codes:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>GSS_S_COMPLETE</strong></dt>
<dd>The routine completed successfully.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>GSS_S_FAILURE</strong></dt>
<dd>The routine failed for reasons that are not defined at the GSS level. The
<em>minor_status</em> return parameter contains a mechanism-dependent error
code describing the reason for the failure.</dd>
