✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, this is XmDestroyPixmap from the library call manual 💖 — a pixmap caching function that removes a pixmap from the pixmap cache. she's giving cleanup-crew, cache-eviction main character energy, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       Boolean XmDestroyPixmap(
       Screen * screen,
       Pixmap pixmap);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so XmDestroyPixmap removes pixmaps that are no longer used. that's the whole vibe. but the way that pixmap memory actually works: pixmaps are completely freed only when there is no further reference to them. so if something is still holding a reference, it is not fully freed yet. periodt.

  • screen — specifies the display screen for which the pixmap was requested. it's the "which screen asked for this pixmap" energy.
  • pixmap — specifies the pixmap to be destroyed. the actual pixmap getting the goodbye kiss 💋

🌈 RETURN 🌈

returns True when successful; returns False if there is no matching screen and pixmap in the pixmap cache. so it's a little vibe check: matching screen + pixmap = True, no matching pair = False. fr fr.

mwah 💖 this page lives under the XmDestroyPixmap(library call) manual, and the footer just says XmDestroyPixmap(library call) — no separate date/version line in the original, so that's the source/version/date sign-off energy. bye bestie, go let those pixmaps be free 🫶✨
