DESCRIPTION

16       The  closedir()  function  closes  the directory stream associated with
17       dirp.  A successful call to closedir() also closes the underlying  file
18       descriptor  associated with dirp.  The directory stream descriptor dirp
19       is not available after this call.

23       returned, and errno is set appropriately.
