| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| This function creates and initializes a general context. The arguments define |
| custom memory management functions and a data value that is passed to them when |
| they are called. The \fBprivate_malloc()\fP function is used to get memory for |
| the context. If either of the first two arguments is NULL, the system memory |
| management function is used. The result is NULL if no memory could be obtained. |
