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 returns 0 if successful otherwise one of the error codes listed in Chapter 3.

# 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);
