           _G_i_v_e_n a link hhhhaaaannnnddddlllleeee to a file as returned by a Create or
           Open call, Close will close the associated file.  Programs
           which use large numbers of files should use Close when no
           more access to a file is required, since there is a limit on
           the number of open files per process.  All open files for a
           process are closed automatically when the process
           terminates.

           Unused secondary storage space may be deallocated, although
           Close does not change the logical size of a file.
