This function releases storage that was allocated for a buffered string.
VOID NdisFreeString( IN NDIS_STRING String );
Parameters
- String
- Pointer to the buffer containing the string.
Remarks
Drivers usually call the NdisInitializeString, NdisIntiAnsiString, and/or NdisInitUnicodeStringfunctions when they are initializing, for example, to set up names passed to the Ndis XXXConfigurationfunctions. For each call it makes to an Ndis XXXStringfunction, the driver should make a corresponding call to this function before its initialization function returns control.
NDIS drivers can also call this function to release buffers that they allocate for calls to the NdisAnsiStringToUnicodeStringand NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiStringfunctions.
A driver that calls this function runs at IRQL PASSIVE_LEVEL.
