Arguments: pixmap-handle
Destroys the "device-dependent pixmap" indicated by the handle argument, freeing the associated operating system resources.
This function is largely for the backward compatible style of using
separate objects for the texture, mask, texture-info, and pixmap
handle of a pixmap. It is now recommended instead to use a pixmap object, which
encapsulates all of these. With a pixmap object, call close-pixmap-handle
(rather than this function) to cause the pixmap to stop using a handle
to a device-dependent pixmap and to free up the OS resources it.
It is safe to call this function if the application will no longer be passing this pixmap handle (or a pixmap object that still uses it) to copy-to-stream or copy-pixels-to-stream.
