zx_handle_close

Summary

Close a handle.

Declaration

#include <zircon/syscalls.h>

zx_status_t zx_handle_close(zx_handle_t handle);

Description

zx_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 zx_object_wait_one() or a zx_object_wait_many() call, the wait will be aborted.

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

Closing the last handle to a peered object using zx_handle_close() can affect the state of the object's peer (if any). See also peered-objects.

Rights

None.

Return value

zx_handle_close() returns ZX_OK on success.

Errors

ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE handle isn't a valid handle.
