# gss_release_oid_set(_:_:)

Releases the memory associated with an OID set.

```
func gss_release_oid_set(_ minor_status: UnsafeMutablePointer<OM_uint32>, _ set: UnsafeMutablePointer<gss_OID_set?>) -> OM_uint32
```

## Parameters

`minor_status`

A pointer to the secondary status result that provides additional information in case of failure.

`set`

The OID set to be released.

## Return Value

A status code set to [`GSS_S_COMPLETE`](/documentation/GSS/GSS_S_COMPLETE) on completion. See [Function Status](/documentation/GSS/function-status) for a complete enumeration of status outputs.

## Discussion

Use this function to free the memory associated with an OID set that you created with [`gss_create_empty_oid_set(_:_:)`](/documentation/GSS/gss_create_empty_oid_set(_:_:)), or that was created on your behalf this way. The contents of the set don’t need to be freed individually. OIDs are typically static objects that don’t require memory management.
