$close(
) ======Technical:====== This function unbinds the given file descriptor (previously returned by the $[[open]]() function) from the underlying file, causing the file to be committed to disk if necessary. An error is returned if it is passed a file descriptor not produced by an $[[open]]() call. ======Practical:====== This function is used to close a file that was opened for reading or writing by $[[open]](). Data corruption may result if the client exits before all open files are closed. ======Returns:====== <file> -1 error 0 file closed successfully
