+.SH NAME
+closedir \- close a directory stream
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <dirent.h>
+.br
+.sp
+int closedir(DIR *\fP\fIdirp\fP\fB);

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIclosedir\fP() function shall close the directory stream referred
+to by the argument \fIdirp\fP. Upon return, the value
+of \fIdirp\fP may no longer point to an accessible object of the type
+\fBDIR\fP. If a file descriptor is used to implement type
+\fBDIR\fP, that file descriptor shall be closed.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIclosedir\fP() shall return 0; otherwise,
+-1 shall be returned and \fIerrno\fP set to indicate
+the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+The \fIclosedir\fP() function may fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EBADF
+The \fIdirp\fP argument does not refer to an open directory stream.
