mclose
======

closes an opened file



Calling Sequence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


::

    err=mclose([fd])
    mclose('all')




Arguments
~~~~~~~~~

:fd a scalar: the `fd` parameter returned by the function `mopen` is
  used as a file descriptor.
: :err a scalar: an error indicator.
:



Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

`mclose` must be used to close a file opened by `mopen`. If `fd` is
omitted `mclose` closes the last opend file.

`mclose('all')` closes all files opened by ``file`_('open',..)` or
`mopen`. Be careful with this use of `mclose` because when it is used
inside a Scilab script file, it also closes the script and Scilab will
not execute commands written after `mclose('all')`.
