REBOL 3 Concepts: Ports: Closing a Port

Pending Revision

This document was written for R2 and has yet to be revised for R3.

Access to a port is terminated with the close function. All buffered data that has not been saved will be written to the target file. The example below will close a port opened earlier:

close fp

If you attempt to close a port that is not open, an error will occur.

A port that is closed can be reopened again with the open function:

open fp
