Description

bool mcrypt_generic_deinit(resource $td)

This function terminates encryption specified by the encryption descriptor (td). It clears all buffers, but does not close the module. You need to call mcrypt_module_close yourself. (But PHP does this for you at the end of the script.)

Parameters

td
The encryption descriptor.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.
