Remarks
On UNIX platforms, closedir is available on POSIX-compliant systems.
The closedir function closes the directory stream dirp, which must have been opened by a previous call to opendir. After the stream is closed, dirp no longer points to a valid directory stream.
Return value
If closedir is successful, it returns 0. Otherwise, closedir returns -1 and sets the global variable errno to
| EBADF | The dirp argument does not point to a valid open directory |
