eSNMP API Routines
free_varbind_data
free_varbind_data
Frees the dynamically allocated fields in the VARBIND structure. However, this
routine does not deallocate the VARBIND structure itself; it deallocates the name
and data buffers to which the VARBIND structure points.
Format
void free_varbind_data ( varbind *vb );
Description
This routine performs a
free_oid
(vb->name) operation. If indicated by the
vb->type field, it then frees the vb->value data using either the
free_oct
or the
free_oid
routine.
Example
#include <esnmp.h>
VARBIND *vb;
vb = (VARBIND*)malloc(sizeof(VARBIND));
clone_oid(&vb->name,oid);
clone_oct(&vb->value.oct,data);
:
: some processing that uses vb occurs here
:
free_varbind_data(vb);
free(vb);
