Using close

Files are closed by calling close(2). The call to close(2) cancels any outstanding asynchronous I/O request that can be closed. close(2) waits for an operation that cannot be cancelled. For more information, see Using aiocancel. When close(2) returns, no asynchronous I/O is pending for the file descriptor. Only asynchronous I/O requests queued to the specified file descriptor are cancelled when a file is closed. Any I/O pending requests for other file descriptors are not cancelled.
