The following example destroys an EIM handle.

#include <eim.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int           rc;
    char          eimerr[100];
    EimRC       * err;
    EimHandle   * handle;


    /* Get eim handle from input arg.           */
    handle = (EimHandle *)argv[1];

    /* Set up error structure.                  */
    memset(eimerr,0x00,100);
    err = (EimRC *)eimerr;
    err->memoryProvidedByCaller = 100;

    /* Destroy the handle                       */
    if (0 != (rc = eimDestroyHandle(handle,
                                    err)))
        printf("Destroy handle error = %d", rc);

    return 0;
