| + | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
| + | $close(<file descriptor>) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Technical:====== | ||
| + | This function unbinds the given file descriptor (previously returned by | ||
| + | the $[[open]]() function) from the underlying file, causing the file to be | ||
| + | committed to disk if necessary. An error is returned if it is passed a | ||
| + | file descriptor not produced by an $[[open]]() call. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Practical:====== | ||
| + | This function is used to close a file that was opened for reading or | ||
| + | writing by $[[open]](). Data corruption may result if the client exits | ||
| + | before all open files are closed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Returns:====== | ||
| + | <file> | ||
| + | -1 error | ||
| + | 0 file closed successfully | ||
| + | </file> | ||
