eSNMP API Routines

free_oct

Frees the buffer attached to an

oct

structure. This routine does not deallocate

the

oct

structure; it deallocates the buffer to which the

oct

structure points.

Format

void free_oct ( oct *oct );

Description

This routine frees the dynamically allocated buffer to which the

oct

structure

points, and zeros the pointer and length on the

oct

structure. If the

oct

structure

is already null, this routine does nothing.

If the buffer attached to the

oct

structure is already null, this routine sets the

length field of the

oct

structure to zero.

Example

#include
OCT octet;
:
: assume octet was assigned a value (perhaps with mem2oct()
: and we are now finished with it.
:
free_oct(&octet);
