+PR_CloseDir
+===========
+
+Closes the specified directory.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prio.h>
+
+ PRStatus PR_CloseDir(PRDir *dir);
+
+
+Parameter
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameter:
+
+``dir``
+ A pointer to a :ref:`PRDir` structure representing the directory to be
+ closed.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+- If successful, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
+- If unsuccessful, ``PR_FAILURE``. The reason for the failure can be
+ retrieved via :ref:`PR_GetError`.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+When a :ref:`PRDir` object is no longer needed, it must be closed and freed
+with a call to :ref:`PR_CloseDir` call. Note that after a :ref:`PR_CloseDir`
+call, any ``PRDirEntry`` object returned by a previous :ref:`PR_ReadDir`
+call on the same :ref:`PRDir` object becomes invalid.
