gss_release_cred(_:_:)

Declaration

func gss_release_cred(_ minor_status: UnsafeMutablePointer<OM_uint32>, _ cred_handle: UnsafeMutablePointer<gss_cred_id_t?>) -> OM_uint32

Parameters

• minor_status:

  A pointer to the secondary status result that provides additional information in case of failure.

• cred_handle:

  The credential whose memory should be freed.

Mentioned in

• Allocating and Releasing Objects

Return Value

A status code set to GSS_S_COMPLETE on success. See Function Status for a description of other status outputs.

Discussion

This function frees the memory associated with the credential, but doesn’t necessarily purge that memory of the credential’s data. If you need to ensure no trace of the credential remains in memory, use gss_destroy_cred(_:_:) instead. That function first removes the credential data from memory and then frees the memory using a call to this function.
