Method Detail

close

public void close()

Releases the reference. If this function was already released, returns immediately and does nothing. Invoking any method on this object after this operation will throw an exception.

Note: Releasing a reference does not necessarily imply that the underlying function object is destroyed. It is only destroyed if no more references point to it.
