DbMpoolFile::close(u_int32_t flags);

The DbMpoolFile::close() method closes the source file indicated by the DbMpoolFile structure. Calling DbMpoolFile::close() does not imply a call to DbMpoolFile::sync() ; that is, no pages are written to the source file as as a result of calling DbMpoolFile::close.().

If the DbMpoolFile was temporary, any underlying files created for this DbMpoolFile will be removed.

After DbMpoolFile::close() has been called, regardless of its return, the DbMpoolFile handle may not be accessed again.

The DbMpoolFile::close() method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.
