DESCRIPTION
       MPIFileclose  first  synchronizes  file  state,  then closes the file
       associated with fh.  MPIFileclose is a collective routine.  The  user
       is  responsible  for  ensuring that all outstanding requests associated
       with fh have completed before calling MPIFileclose.


EERRRROORRSS
       Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the  value
       of  the  function  and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ func-
       tions do not return errors. If the default  error  handler  is  set  to
       MPI::ERRORSTHROWEXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism
       will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.

       Before the error value is returned, the current MPI  error  handler  is
       called.  For  MPI I/O function errors, the default error handler is set
       to  MPIERRORSRETURN.  The  error  handler   may   be   changed   with
       MPIFileseterrhandler;      the      predefined     error     handler
       MPIERRORSAREFATAL may be used to make I/O errors  fatal.  Note  that
       MPI  does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
