smb2_close(9)

💅 smb2_close(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so real talk: this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about the handler for the smb2 close file command. yes, that close. the "we're done here, pack it up" of SMB2. short page, big main character energy 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋
