FreeConnections function

Note

The Network Access Protection platform is not available starting with Windows 10

The FreeConnections function frees a Connections data structure.

Syntax

NAPAPI VOID WINAPI FreeConnections(
  _In_ Connections *connections
);

Parameters

connections [in]

A pointer to the Connections structure to free.

Remarks

All the COM interfaces supported by the NAP system use standard COM memory management rules and the COM memory allocators (CoTaskMemAlloc and CoTaskMemFree):

  • In parameters are allocated and freed by the caller.
  • Out parameters are allocated by the callee and freed by the caller using CoTaskMem.
  • In/out parameters are allocated by the caller, freed and reallocated by the callee, and ultimately freed by the caller, using CoTaskMem.

All NAP functions for freeing memory also free all embedded pointers.
