NAME
       closedir - close a directory stream

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <dirent.h>

       int closedir(DIR *dirp);

DESCRIPTION
       The closedir() function closes the directory stream referred to by the argument dirp. Upon return, the value of dirp may no longer point to
       an accessible object of the type DIR. If a file descriptor is used to implement type DIR, that file descriptor will be closed.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, closedir() returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The closedir() function may fail if:

       EBADF	The dirp argument does not refer to an open directory stream.

       EINTR	The closedir() function was interrupted by a signal.
