NAME

     closedir - close a directory stream

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <dirent.h>

     int closedir(DIR *dirp);

DESCRIPTION

     to  by the argument dirp. Upon return, the value of dirp may
     no longer point to an accessible object of the type DIR.  If
     a  file  descriptor is used to implement type DIR, that file
     descriptor will be closed.

RETURN VALUES

     -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

     The closedir() function may fail if:

     EBADF The dirp argument does not refer to an open  directory
           stream.
