%CLOSE

Syntax	variable = %CLOSE( file.descriptor )
Category	BASIC
Type	C Function
Description	closes the Unix file specified by "file.descriptor" returned by a previous call to %open(), %creat(), %dup(), %socket() or %accept(). All Unix files opened from a FlashBASIC program are closed automatically at main program termination. It is a safe practice, though, to close files explicitly.
Options
See Also	%CREAT %DUP c function CFUNCTION %TTYNAME %UNLINK %OPEN %SOCKET %ACCEPT %CONNECT %FSIZE %LISTEN
Example	if %close(fd) then crt 'Cannot close file' stop end Note the use of the implicit (void) casting by not including the statement as part of an assignment. The return code of the close is thrown away.
Warnings	Closing one of the system files (stdin, stdout, etc.) has unpredictable results.
Compatibility	D3/Unix
