NAME

       gspool_ptrdel - delete a printer

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gspool.h>

       int gspool_ptrdel(const int fd, const unsigned flags, const slotno_t slot)

DESCRIPTION

       The function gspool_ptrdel() is used to delete a printer.

       fd is a file descriptor previously returned by gspool_open

       flags is either zero, or "GSPOOL_FLAG_IGNORESEQ" to ignore changes since the list was last read.

       slot is the slot number corresponding to the printer as previously returned by gspool_ptrlist, or
       gspool_ptrfindslot.

RETURN VALUES

       The function gspool_ptrdel() returns 0 if successful, otherwise one of the following codes:

       GSPOOL_INVALID_FD
               Invalid File descriptor

       GSPOOL_BADWRITE
               failure writing to the network

       GSPOOL_BADREAD
               failure reading from the network

       GSPOOL_SEQUENCE
               Sequence error, slot may be out of date

       GSPOOL_UNKNOWN_PTR
               Printer not found

       GSPOOL_INVALIDSLOT
               Invalid slot number

       GSPOOL_PTR_RUNNING

EXAMPLE

       An example to delete all printers:

        int fd, ret, np, i;
        slotno_t *slots;

        fd = gspool_open("myhost", (char *)0, 0);
        if (fd < 0) { /* error handling */
            ...
        }

        ret = gspool_ptrlist(fd, GSPOOL_LOCALONLY, &np, &slots);
        if (ret < 0) { /* error handling */
            ...
        }

        for (i = 0; i < np; i++) {
            ret = gspool_ptrdel(fd, 0, slots[i]);
            if (ret < 0) { /* error handling */
                ...
            }
        }
        gspool_close(fd);
