Name

linx_free_buf() - Free a signal buffer owned by a LINX endpoint

Synopsis

#include <linx_types.h>
#include <linx.h>

int linx_free_buf(LINX *linx, union LINX_SIGNAL **sig);

Description

Free a signal buffer, owned by the LINX endpoint, associated with the linx handle. Once the buffer is freed it may not be accessed again. To be owned by this LINX endpoint, the buffer has either been received by or allocated at this endpoint.

linx is the handle to the LINX endpoint, owning the sig signal buffer.

sig is the signal buffer. When the call returns, the pointer (*sig) is set to LINX_NIL to prevent further access.

If sig is corrupt, abort(3) is called.

Return Value

On success, 0 is returned. The function does not return on error.

Bugs/Limitations

None.
