11 /// `close(raw_fd)`—Closes a `RawFd` directly.
12 ///
13 /// Most users won't need to use this, as `OwnedFd` automatically closes its
14 /// file descriptor on `Drop`.
15 ///
16 /// This function does not return a `Result`, as it is the [responsibility] of
17 /// filesystem designers to not return errors from `close`. Users who chose to
18 /// use NFS or similar filesystems should take care to monitor for problems
19 /// externally.
