Synopsis:

#include <sys/iofunc.h>
#include <sys/dispatch.h>

void dispatch_context_free(
        dispatch_context_t * ctp );

Arguments:

ctp: A pointer to a dispatch_context_t structure that was allocated by dispatch_context_alloc().

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

The dispatch_context_free() function frees the given dispatch context.

This function is part of the dispatch layer of a resource manager. For more information, see "Components of a resource manager" in the Writing a Resource Manager chapter of the Neutrino Programmer's Guide.

Examples:

#include <sys/dispatch.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main( int argc, char **argv ) {
   dispatch_t           *dpp;
   dispatch_context_t   *ctp;

   if( ( dpp = dispatch_create() ) == NULL ) {
     fprintf( stderr, "%s: Unable to allocate
              dispatch handle.\n",argv[0] );
     return EXIT_FAILURE;
   }

   ... 

   ctp = dispatch_context_alloc( dpp );

   ...

   dispatch_context_free ( ctp );   
   return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

See dispatch_create(), message_attach(), resmgr_attach(), and thread_pool_create() for examples using the dispatch interface.
