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

Description:

The function dispatch_destroy() destroys the given dispatch handle.

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.

Returns:

0: Success.
-1: An error occurred (errno is set).

Errors:

EINVAL: The dispatch handle, dpp, is invalid.

Examples:

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

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

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

   ...
    
   if ( (destroyed = dispatch_destroy ( dpp )) == -1 ) {
      fprintf ( stderr, "Dispatch wasn't destroyed, \
                bad dispatch handle %d.\n", dpp);
      return EXIT_FAILURE;
   }
   /* else dispatch was destroyed */

   ...
   return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
