FreeContextBuffer

The FreeContextBuffer function enables callers of security package functions to free a memory buffer allocated by the security package. For example, the InitializeSecurityContext function may allocate a buffer for returning the outbound context token.

SECURITY_STATUS FreeContextBuffer(
  PVOID pvContextBuffer  // buffer to free
);

Parameters

pvContextBuffer

[in] Pointer to memory allocated by the security package.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is SEC_E_OK.

If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code.

The prototype for this function can be found in Sspi.h.
