PBDTCloseDown

Close desktop database

#include <Files.h> Finder Interface

DTPBPtr paramBlock ; pointer to a DTPB Param Block

The PBDTCloseDown function is used by system software to close the

desktop database, though your application should never do this itself.

PBDTCloseDown runs synchronously only, and though it will not close down

the desktop databases of remote volumes, it will invalidate all local

ioDTRefNum values for remote desktop databases.

Parameter block

€¨ 16 ioResult short result code

€Æ 24 ioDTRefNum short desktop database reference number

PBDTCloseDown closes the database specified in ioDTRefNum and frees all

resources allocated by PBDTOpenInform or PBDTGetPath.

Warning: Applications should not call PBDTCloseDown. The system

software closes the database when the volume is unmounted.

Returns: an Error code. It will be one of the following:

noEff (0) No error

ioErr (-36) I/O error

rfNumErr (-51) Reference number invalid

extFSErr (-58) External file system-file system identifier is nonzero
