.SH NAME
|
|
.BR close
|
|
\- delete a descriptor
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <unistd.h>
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
int
|
|
\fBclose\fR(int \fIfd\fR);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR close
|
|
call deletes a descriptor from the per-process file descriptor table.
|
|
If this is the last reference to the underlying object, the
|
|
object will be deactivated.
|
|
For example, on the last close of a file
|
|
the current
|
|
.IR seek
|
|
pointer associated with the file is lost;
|
|
on the last close of a
|
|
.BR socket (2)
|
|
associated naming information and queued data are discarded;
|
|
on the last close of a file holding an advisory lock
|
|
the lock is released (see further
|
|
.BR flock (2)).
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and the global integer variable
|
|
.IR errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
.BR Close
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.RS

|
.IP \fBEBADF\fR
|
|
.I fd
|
|
is not an active descriptor.
|
|
