OTReleaseBuffer
Returns the no-copy receive buffer to the system.

C INTERFACE
void OTReleaseBuffer(OTBuffer* buf);
C++ INTERFACE
None. C++ applications use the C interface to this function.

PARAMETERS

buf
A pointer to the no-copy receive buffer to be released.

DISCUSSION
Once a no-copy receive is completed, you need to release the OTBuffer structure as quickly as possible by calling this function.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This function is available only to PowerPC-native clients; there is no mixed-mode glue for the function, so you must build a fat application in order to use it.
