DATASERV (kdataman) functions
LIBRARY ROUTINE
kdms_close - close an open data object.
LIBRARY CALL
int
kdms_close(kobject object)
INPUT
- object - the object to be closed.
OUTPUT
none
RETURN VALUE
TRUE on success, FALSE otherwise
DESCRIPTION
This function is called on an object when all
interaction with the object is completed.
In addition to freeing resources that were
used to manage the object, this function also,
performs any "last minute" manipulation on the
file or transport that is associated with the
object.
If the object was created with the kdms_reference
function call, or if another object was created as
a reference of the one being closed, then the object
might be sharing some of its resources with other
objects. If this is the case, then those shared
resources will not be freed, but rather they will
be disassociated from the object being closed. Thus,
closing an object does not affect any other object.
