FS_CLOSE - Close a file.
Purpose
Closes the specified file handle.
Calling Sequence
int far pascal FS_CLOSE(type, IOflag, psffsi, psffsd)
unsigned short type;
unsigned short IOflag;
struct sffsi far * psffsi;
struct sffsd far * psffsd;
Where
type indicates what type of a close operation this is.
type == 0 indicates that this is not the final close of the file or device
.
type == 1 indicates that this is the final close of this file or device
for this process.
type == 2 indicates that this is the final close for this file or device
for the system.
IOflag indicates information about the operation on the handle.
IOflag == 0x0010 indicates write-through.
IOflag == 0x0020 indicates no-cache.
psffsi is a pointer to the file-system-independent portion of an open file
instance.
psffsd is a pointer to the file-system-dependent portion of an open file
instance.
Remarks
This entry point is called on the every close of a file or device.
Any reserved resources for this instance of the open file may be released
It may be assumed that all open files will be closed at process
termination. That is, this entry point will always be called at process
termination for any files or devices open for the process.
A close operation should be interpreted by the FSD as meaning that the
file should be committed to disk as appropriate.
Of the information passed in IOflag, the write-through bit is a mandatory
bit in that any data written to the block device must be put out on the
medium before the device driver returns. The no-cache bit, on the other
hand, is an advisory bit that says whether the data being transferred is
worth caching or not.
