Releases the receiver’s resources in the pasteboard server.

## Declaration

```swift
func releaseGlobally()
```

## Discussion

Discussion After this method is invoked, no other application can use the receiver. important: Although you must call this method to release a temporary, privately named pasteboard to avoid leaks, you should never call it on a standard pasteboard.
