gnutls_anon_free_server_credentials - Linux
Overview
gnutls_anon_free_server_credentials
deallocates server credentials that were previously initialized using gnutls_anon_allocate_server_credentials
. It is part of the GNU Transport Layer Security (GnuTLS) library for secure network communication.
Syntax
void gnutls_anon_free_server_credentials(gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t creds);
Options/Flags
| Option | Description |
|—|—|
| creds
| The server credentials object to be deallocated. |
Examples
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int main() {
gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t creds;
// Initialize credentials
gnutls_anon_allocate_server_credentials(&creds);
// Use credentials...
// Deallocate credentials
gnutls_anon_free_server_credentials(creds);
return 0;
}
Common Issues
- Invalid
creds
parameter: Ensure that a valid server credentials object is passed to the function. - Memory leaks: If the server credentials are not deallocated using this function, they will remain in memory until the program terminates.
Integration
gnutls_anon_free_server_credentials
can be used in combination with other GnuTLS functions to establish and manage TLS connections. For example, it can be used together with gnutls_init
, gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags
, and gnutls_handshake
to create a secure TLS server.
