| ## sec_attr_util_inst_free(3sec) Frees nonnull pointers in a sec_attr_t and the pointer to the sec_attr_t itself Synopsis #include <dce/sec_attr_util.h> void sec_attr_util_inst_free ( sec_attr_t **sec_attr_p); Parameters Input/Output **sec_attr_p As input, the address of an allocated pointer to a potentially initialized sec_attr_t. As output, the address of a deallocated pointer that has been set to NULL. Description The sec_attr_util_inst_free( ) routine frees each nonnull pointer in a sec_attr_t pointed to by *sec_attr_p. The *sec_attr_p itself is also freed and set to NULL. A partially initialized sec_attr_t is handled correctly. The sec_attr_util_inst_free( ) routine is useful for freeing the resources of dynamically allocated sec_attr_ts and their subfields. Note that most DCE client application programming interfaces (APIs) that return sec_attr_ts allocate only subfields, and not the sec_attr_t itself. Use sec_attr_util_inst_free_ptrs( ) instead of sec_attr_util_inst_free( ) to free attribute resources allocated by such APIs.
