✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The context argument is a value returned from a previous call to pmiStart(3) — like, you don't just make it up, bestie, it comes from pmiStart(3), okay? And on a successful return from pmiUseContext, the current context will have been changed to the one identified by context. boom. switched. new context, who dis 💅✨

pmiUseContext returns zero on success. slay. 🎉

Otherwise? it returns a negative value 😭 which you can turn into an actual error message by calling pmiErrStr(3). so like, don't just sit there staring at a negative number, go get the real tea from pmiErrStr(3).
