mi_lo_invalidate()

The mi_lo_invalidate() function marks the LO handle as invalid.

Syntax

Usage

The mi_lo_validate() marks as invalid the LO handle that LO_hdl references. You can use the mi_lo_invalidate() function in the support function of an opaque data type to make smart large objects invalid. It allows these support functions to invalidate an LO handle explicitly before it is stored. You might want to mark an LO handle as invalid to indicate that it is not active.

If mi_lo_invalidate() fails due to an invalid connection, callbacks are invoked. If it fails due to an illegal handle, callbacks are not invoked.

Return Values

MI_OK

The function was successful; the LO handle was successfully invalidated.

MI_ERROR

The function was not successful; the connection was invalid or the handle was illegal.
