SYNOPSIS
cc -flag ... file ...-lgss [library ...]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_release_cred(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_cred_id_t
*cred_handle);
DESCRIPTION
The gss_release_cred() function informs the GSS-API that the specified
credential handle is no longer required by the application and frees
the associated resources. The cred_handle parameter is set to
GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL when this call completes successfully.
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_release_cred() follow:
minor_status A mechanism specific status code.
cred_handle An opaque handle that identifies the credential to be
released. If GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL is specified, the
gss_release_cred() function will complete successfully,
but it will do nothing.
ERRORSgss_release_cred() may return the following status codes:
GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion.
GSS_S_NO_CRED The referenced credentials cannot be accessed.
GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for
which no specific GSS status code is defined.
The mechanism-specific status code reported by
means of the minor_status parameter details the
error condition.
