closedir() -- General Function (libc)

Close a directory stream
#include <dirent.h>
int closedir(dirp)
DIR *dirp;

The COHERENT function closedir() is one  of a set of COHERENT routines that
manipulate  directories  in a  device-independent  manner.   It closes  the
directory stream pointed to by dirp.

closedir() returns  zero if no  error occurs.  If something  goes wrong, it
returns -1 and sets errno to an appropriate value.

Example

For an example of this system call, see the Lexicon entry for opendir().
