+.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.
