24<b>Description(env close)</b>
25<p>Close the Berkeley DB environment, freeing any allocated resources and closing
26any underlying subsystems.</p>
27<p>This does not imply closing any databases that were opened in the
28environment.</p>
29<p>Where the environment was initialized with the <b>-txn</b> option,
30calling <i>env</i> <b>close</b> does not release any locks still held by the
31closing process, providing functionality for long-lived locks.</p>
32<p>After <i>env</i> <b>close</b> has been called the <b>env</b> handle may not be
33accessed again.</p>
34<p>The <i>env</i> <b>close</b> command returns 0 on success, and in the case of error, a Tcl error
35is thrown.</p>
