NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     close - Close an open file

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     close fileId

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Closes the	file given by fileId.  FileId must be the return value from a
     previous invocation of the	open command; after this command, it should
     not be used anymore.  If fileId refers to a command pipeline instead of a
     file, then	close waits for	the children to	complete.  The normal result
     of	this command is	an empty string, but errors are	returned if there are
     problems in closing the file or waiting for children to complete.
