| ## dce_db_free(3dce) Releases the data supplied from a backing store Synopsis #include <dce/dce.h> #include <dce/dbif.h> void dce_db_free( dce_db_handle_t handle, void *data, error_status_t *status); Parameters Input handle A handle, returned from dce_db_open( ), that identifies the backing store being used. data The data area to be released. Output status A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error. Description The dce_db_free( ) routine is designed to free the data area previously returned via a call to dce_db_fetch( ), dce_db_fetch_by_name( ), or dce_db_fetch_by_uuid( ). Notes In the current implementation, the dce_db_free( ) routine does not perform any action. For servers that execute properly this is of little consequence, because their allocated memory is automatically cleaned up when a remote procedure call finishes. For completeness, and for compatibility with future releases, the use of dce_db_free( ) is recommended. Errors The following describes a partial list of errors that might be returned. Refer to the OSF DCE Problem Determination Guide for complete descriptions of all error messages. error_status_ok The call was successful.
