close(::Channel)

close(Channel)

Closes a channel. An exception is thrown by:

put! on a closed channel.
take! and fetch on an empty, closed channel.

Examples

Close a file stream:
```
julia> file = open("data.txt");
julia> close(file)
```
This example closes the file stream file after performing a flush operation.
Close a network stream:
```
julia> sock = connect("localhost", 8080);
julia> close(sock)
```
It closes the network stream sock after flushing any pending data.
Close a stream and handle errors:
```
julia> stream = open("output.txt", "w");
julia> try
          # Perform some operations with the stream
       finally
          close(stream)
       end
```
In this example, the close function is used in a finally block to ensure that the stream is closed even if an error occurs during the operations performed with the stream.

Common mistake example:

julia> close(5)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching close(::Int64)

In this example, the close function is called with an argument that is not a valid stream. Make sure to pass a valid stream object to the close function to avoid this error.
