Class Overview

Closeable represents the source or destination of some data which can be called its close method to release resources it holds.

Summary

Public Methods
abstract void	close() Close the object and release any system resources it holds.

Public Methods

public abstract void close ()

Close the object and release any system resources it holds. If the object has been close, then invoke this method has no effect.

Throws

IOException	if any error raises when closing the object.
