AHELP for CIAO 4.16

paramclose

Context: paramio

Synopsis

Close a parameter file opened by paramopen.

Syntax

paramclose(fp)

Description

Close the parameter file associated with the given Param_File object, the return value of paramopen().

The paramio module is not available by default; see "ahelp paramio" for information on loading the module.


Example

fp = paramopen("dmextract")
# use fp in other paramio routines
paramclose(fp)

Here we open the parameter file for dmextract and then close it. In real-world applications you would use one of the other paramio routines to query or change the parameter file in between opening and closing it.
