zx_handle_close

NAME

handle_close - close a handle

SYNOPSIS

#include <zircon/syscalls.h>

zx_status_t zx_handle_close(zx_handle_t handle);

DESCRIPTION

handle_close() closes a handle, causing the underlying object to be reclaimed by the kernel if no other handles to it exist.

If the handle was used in a pending object_wait_one or a object_wait_many call, the wait will be aborted.

If the handle was the next to last handle to the object. The last handle to the object will assert the ZX_SIGNAL_LAST_HANDLE signal.

It is not an error to close the special “never a valid handle” ZX_HANDLE_INVALID, similar to free(NULL) being a valid call.

RETURN VALUE

handle_close() returns ZX_OK on success.

ERRORS

ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE handle isn't a valid handle.
