Series 300 and 500 Only

NAME

faterminate − terminate the current fast alpha environment

SYNOPSIS

int  faterminate(gfd)
int gfd;

DESCRIPTION

gfd is an integer file descriptor for an gopened device interface. 

DISCUSSION

This routine is the opposite of fainit. It frees up all system resources acquired during fainit and discards all fast alpha state information associated with the current file descriptor. 
 
faterminate has no effect on the currently active font.  It remains active unless a fafontremove on the active font was encountered prior to faterminate. 

HARDWARE DEPENDENCIES

Series 500:
Fast alpha routines do not support HP-15 (2-byte) fonts on Series 500.

SEE ALSO

fainit(3w), fafontremove(3w), fafontactivate(3w). 

DIAGNOSTICS

A value of -1 is returned if gfdf is invalid, or a call to fainit was never executed on this gfd.  See errno(2) for further information.
