Functions / Creating, Cloning, and Removing a Configuration Structure

OTDestroyConfiguration

Deletes an OTConfiguration structure.

C INTERFACE

void OTDestroyConfiguration(OTConfiguration* cfig);

C++ INTERFACES

None. C++ applications use the C interface to this function.

PARAMETERS

cfig

A pointer to the OTConfiguration structure that you want to delete.

DESCRIPTION

The OTDestroyConfiguration function deletes the OTConfiguration structure that you specify in the cfig parameter and releases all associated memory.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Functions that open providers delete the OTConfiguration structure that they use. For this reason, most applications need not call the OTDestroyConfiguration function. You should call the OTDestroyConfiguration function only to delete an OTConfiguration structure not used to open a provider.

SEE ALSO

For more information about creating configuration structures, see the sections "About Provider Configurations" (page 6-3) and "Creating and Reusing Provider Configurations" (page 6-10).

To create an OTConfiguration structure, call the OTCreateConfiguration function (page 6-27).

To copy an OTConfiguration structure, call the OTCloneConfiguration function (page 6-29).
