CLOSEDIR(3) Linux Programmer's Manual CLOSEDIR(3)
closedir - close a directory
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>
int closedir(DIR *dirp);
The closedir() function closes the directory stream associated
with dirp. A successful call to closedir() also closes the
underlying file descriptor associated with dirp. The directory
stream descriptor dirp is not available after this call.
The closedir() function returns 0 on success. On error, -1 is
returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
EBADF Invalid directory stream descriptor dirp.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).
