HDFclose/hdfclose
intn HDFclose(int32
file_id
)
file_id
IN:
File identifier returned by
Hopen
Purpose
Closes the access path to the file.
Return value
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
Description
The file identifier
file_id
is validated before the file is closed. If the identifier is valid, the function closes the access path to the file.
If there are still access identifiers attached to the file, the error code DFE_OPENAID is returned and the file is not closed. This is a common occurrence when developing new interfaces. See
Hendaccess
for further discussion of this problem.
