Vdetach/vfdtch

int32 Vdetach(int32 vgroup_id)

vgroup_id IN:

Vgroup identifier returned by Vattach

Purpose

Terminates access to a vgroup.

Return value

Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.

Description

Vdetach detaches the currently-attached vgroup identified by vgroup_id and terminates access to that vgroup.

All space associated with the vgroup, vgroup_id, will be freed. Each attached vgroup must be detached by calling this routine before the file is closed. Vdetach also updates the vgroup information in the HDF file if any changes occur. The identifier vgroup_id should not be used after the vgroup is detached.

FORTRAN

integer function vfdtch(vgroup_id)

integer vgroup_id
