Working on a text editor, I've written this code!
/* I've omitted error checking! */
void
katoob_delete_buffer (GtkTextBuffer *buffer)
{ 
  GtkTextIter start, end;
  gtk_text_buffer_get_start_iter (buffer, &start);
  gtk_text_buffer_get_end_iter(buffer, &end);
  gtk_text_buffer_delete (buffer, &start, &end);
}
