PfAttachDllCx()

Attach to a local font server

Synopsis:

#include <font_api.h>

struct _Pf_ctrl* PfAttachDllCx( fontdll_t dll,
                                long size );

Arguments:

dll

An opaque structure that describes a local font server DLL, returned by PfAttachLocalDll().

size

The size of render buffer allocated (the area in memory used by the font server to return rendered bitmaps). The value determines the type of buffer allocated:

0 -- no buffer allocated
>0 -- allocate a shared memory buffer
<0 -- allocate a heap buffer
-1 -- allocate a heap buffer using the value from the environment variable PHFONTMEM

Library:

font

Description:

This routine allocates a font context structure, and connects to the local font server referred to by dll.

Returns:

Font context: Success
NULL: Failure

Errors:

ENOMEM: Insufficient resources
EACCES: shm_open() error.
EEXIST: shm_open() error.
EINTR: shm_open() error.
ELOOP: shm_open() error.
