int closedir(DIR *dirp);
The closedir() function closes the directory
stream associated with dirp. A successful call to closedir() also closes
the underlying file descriptor associated with dirp. The directory stream
descriptor dirp is not available after this call.
The closedir()
function returns 0 on success. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set
appropriately.
- EBADF
