CLOSEFROM(2)		      System Calls Manual		  CLOSEFROM(2)

NAME
       closefrom, close_range -- delete	open file descriptors

LIBRARY
       Standard	C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<unistd.h>

       void
       closefrom(int lowfd);

       int
       close_range(u_int lowfd,	u_int highfd, int flags);

DESCRIPTION
       The  closefrom()	 system	call deletes all open file descriptors greater
       than or equal to	lowfd from the	per-process  object  reference	table.
       Any errors encountered while closing file descriptors are ignored.

       The close_range() system	call deletes all open file descriptors between
       lowfd  and highfd inclusive, clamped to the range of open file descrip-
       tors.  Any errors encountered while closing file	 descriptors  are  ig-
       nored.  Supported flags:

       CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC  Set	 the  close-on-exec flag on descriptors	in the
			    range instead of closing them.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, close_range() returns a value of 0.	Other-
       wise, a value of	-1 is returned and the global variable errno is	set to
       indicate	the error.

ERRORS
       The close_range() system	call will fail if:

       [EINVAL]		  The highfd argument is lower than  the  lowfd	 argu-
			  ment.

       [EINVAL]		  An invalid flag was set.

SEE ALSO
