XpDestroyContext(3Xp)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to XpDestroyContext(3Xp) from the XPRINT FUNCTIONS section — that's the manual name, and we're folding it in right here at the top because we're polite like that. 💅 the official NAME line says: XpDestroyContext — Gets the current print context-id for a display connection. yes, the NAME says "gets" while the rest of the page is very much "destroy" — I'm just reading the page, don't come for me. 🙈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the literal compile-and-link vibe:

             cc [ flag... ] file... -lXp [ library... ]
             #include <X11/extensions/Print.h>

       void XpDestroyContext ( display, print_context )
             Display *display;
             XPContext print_context;

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• display — Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay.
• print_context — Specifies the print context to destroy. bye-bye, context.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so XpDestroyContext closes any outstanding associations between the print context and any display connections, and then destroys the print context. All display connections using the print context will no longer be able to access the print context. like, the door is closed, the lights are off, and the context is not accepting visitors. 💀

serious warning moment, bestie: destroying a print context will cause any in-progress pages, documents and jobs to be canceled within the X Print Server. canceled. not paused, not tucked in for later — canceled. 😭 so this is highkey a "know what you're doing" button.

🚨 DIAGNOSTICS 🚨

• XPBadContext — A valid print context-id has not been set prior to making this call. that's the error, and it's giving "no valid context-id was set before this call."

mwah 💋 — source/version: X Version 11, libXp 1.0.4. date: the footer didn't hand one over, so I'm not inventing it, bestie. this has been the XpDestroyContext(3Xp) page — periodt. 🎀🦋
