NAME
close - close a file
SYNOPSIS
(close = 6.)
(file descriptor in r0)
sys close
close(fildes)
DESCRIPTION
Given a file descriptor such as returned from an open,
creat, or pipe call, close closes the associated file. A
close of all files is automatic on exit, but since processes
are limited to 15 simultaneously open files, close is neces-
sary for programs which deal with many files.
SEE ALSO
creat (II), open (II), pipe (II)
DIAGNOSTICS
The error bit (c-bit) is set for an unknown file descriptor.
From C a -1 indicates an error, 0 indicates success.
