     NAME
          close - Close an open file

     SYNOPSIS
          close fileId
     _________________________________________________________________


     DESCRIPTION
          Closes the file given by fileId.  FileId must be the  return
          value  from a previous invocation of the open command; after
          this command, it should not  be  used  anymore.   If  fileId
          refers  to  a command pipeline instead of a file, then close
          waits for the children to complete.  The  normal  result  of
          this  command is an empty string, but errors are returned if
          there are problems  in  closing  the  file  or  waiting  for
          children to complete.
