glutDestroyWindow (3) Linux Manual Page

glutDestroyWindow – Destroy a window and associated subwindows

Library

OpenGLUT – window

Synopsis

In openglut.h Ft void Fn glutDestroyWindow int windowID

Parameters

Bf Em
 windowID Ef
   Window identifier

Description

After this function is invoked, the only further event that may be delivered for your window is the one for its destruction. All other events should be discarded.

Once a window has been destroyed, further attempts to use the window named by Bf Sy
 windowID Ef
 are undefined.  OpenGLUT generally tries to be sensible, and should not recycle the dead Bf Sy
 windowID, Ef
 but you should treat a destroyed window much like a pointer to deallocated memory and try not to use it.
