Creating, Cloning, and Disposing of a Configuration Structure /

OTDestroyConfiguration

Disposes of an OTConfiguration structure.

C INTERFACE

void OTDestroyConfiguration(OTConfiguration* cfig);

C++ INTERFACE

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

PARAMETERS

cfig

A pointer to the OTConfiguration structure that you want to dispose of.

DISCUSSION

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

Functions that open providers automatically disposes of 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 dispose of an OTConfiguration structure that you have not actually used to open a provider.
