Close an open xarchive handle
If the passed xar_t was opened WRITE, xar_close() will serialize the xarchive, writing the archive out to the filename specified when the xar_t handle was opened. Then all memory associated with the xar_t handle will be freed, and any associated file descriptors will be closed.
If the passed xar_t was opened READ, xar_close will free all memory associated with the xar_t handle and close any associated file descriptors.
xar_close() should be called whenever a xar_t is no longer needed.
#include <xar/xar.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { xar_t x; x = xar_open(argv[1], READ); if( x == NULL ) { fprintf(stderr, "Error opening xarchive: %s\n", argv[1]); exit(1); } ... xar_close(x); ... }
