mdbm_close

NAME

mdbm_close - close a mdbm database.

SYNOPSIS

int mdbm_close(int handle)

DESCRIPTION

Close a mdbm database that has previously been opened by a call to the mdbm_open() kfun. The "handle" returned by that kfun is used as an argument to this kfun.

Zero is returned to indicate failure, one to indicate success; although in general the return value may be ignored unless there is some uncertainty that the "handle" being used corresponds to an open database.
