close

fun close(fd: Int): <Error class: unknown class><Boolean>

This wraps the close() call; in case of error, %errno will be preserved, but the error will also be stored as a #GError in @error.

Besides using #GError, there is another major reason to prefer this function over the call provided by the system; on Unix, it will attempt to correctly handle %EINTR, which has platform-specific semantics.

Return

true on success, false if there was an error.
