NAME
clunk - forget about a fid
SYNOPSIS
size[4] Tclunk tag[2] fid[4]
size[4] Rclunk tag[2]
DESCRIPTION
The clunk request informs the file server that the current file repre‐
sented by fid is no longer needed by the client. The actual file is
not removed on the server unless the fid had been opened with ORCLOSE.
Once a fid has been clunked, the same fid can be reused in a new walk
or attach request.
Even if the clunk returns an error, the fid is no longer valid.
ENTRY POINTS
A clunk message is generated by close and indirectly by other actions
such as failed open calls.
