The gss_release_buffer() function releases storage associated with a gss_buffer_t buffer. The gss_buffer_desc structure itself is not released.

Parameters

minor_status (Output): A status code from the security mechanism.

The return value is one of the following status codes:

GSS_S_COMPLETE: The routine completed successfully.
GSS_S_FAILURE: The routine failed for reasons that are not defined at the GSS level. The minor_status return parameter contains a mechanism-dependent error code describing the reason for the failure.
