.Ft int

.Fn mac_free "mac_t label"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mac_free
|
|
function frees the storage allocated to contain a
|
|
.Vt mac_t .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mac_free
|
|
function always returns 0.
|
|
WARNING: see the notes in the
|
|
.Sx BUGS
|
|
section regarding the use of this
|
|
function.

|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
|
|
Discussion of the draft
|
|
continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation mailing list.
|
|
To join this list, see the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
POSIX.1e implementation page
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
POSIX.1e specifies that
|
|
.Fn mac_free
|
|
will be used to free text strings created using
|
|
.Xr mac_to_text 3 .
|
|
Because
|
|
.Vt mac_t
|
|
is a complex structure in the
|
|
.Tn TrustedBSD
|
|
implementation,
|
|
.Fn mac_free
|
|
is specific to that type, and must not be used to free the character
|
|
strings returned from
|
|
.Fn mac_to_text .
|
|
Doing so may result in undefined behavior,
|
|
including application failure.
