NAME

endst - close all open files and terminate program execution


SYNOPSIS

call endst


DESCRIPTION

Normally called at the end of any ratfor program or program
which uses the software tools primitives.
Closes all open files and terminates program execution.

On many systems a call to endst is made automatically, either
by the system or by specifically inserting the call into
code processed by the ratfor preprocessor.


IMPLEMENTATION

Any open files are closed.
If any files have been opened multiple times (that is, they have more
than one internal descriptor assigned to them), care is
taken that multiple closes do not damage
the file.
