<dd>Terminates access to an HDF5 file.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Fclose</code> terminates access to an HDF5 file.
- If this is the last file identifier open for a file
- and if access identifiers are still in use,
- this function will fail.
+ <p>
+ If this is the last file identifier open for the file
+ and no other access identifier is open (e.g., a dataset
+ identifier, group identifier, or shared datatype identifier),
+ the file will be fully closed and access will end.
+ <p>
+ If this is the last file identifier open for the file
+ and other access identifiers are still in use,
+ those access identifiers remain valid until separately
+ closed and can still be used.
+ (But the file identifier is no longer valid and cannot be used.)
+ Once all of the remaining access identifiers are closed,
+ the file will be fully closed and access will end.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
