Command closeReader
This command is part of the StAX support.
Name
closeReader Closes a StAX Reader created with newEventReaderSynopsis
closeReader $readerDescription
closeReader closes the reader created with newEventReader. If you do not close the reader when you are through it may cause open file handles to stay open until the shell exits the current scope and garbage collection occurs.Note that unlike many of the StAX functions this is a command not a function. You use the Command syntax to invoke it.
Example
import commands stax=stax reader=stax:newEventReader( file.xml ) while [ stax:hasNext( $reader ) ] ; do event=stax:nextEvent( $reader ) ; done stax:closeReader $reader
