# tibrv_Close()

Function

## Declaration

    tibrv_status tibrv_Close(void);

## Purpose

Stop and destroy Rendezvous internal machinery.

## Remarks

After `tibrv_Close()` destroys the internal machinery, Rendezvous software becomes inoperative:

| • | Events no longer arrive in queues.

| • | All events and queues are unusable, so programs can no longer dispatch events.

| • | All transports are unusable, so programs can no longer send outbound messages.

tibrv_Close() frees storage associated with events, queues, queue groups, transports and dispatcher threads. However, tibrv_Close() does not destroy Rendezvous messages; the program must explicitly destroy messages to reclaim their storage.

Programs can call tibrv_Close() in any thread.

## Reference Count

A reference count protects against interactions between programs and third-party packages that call tibrv_Open() and tibrv_Close(). Each call to tibrv_Open() increments an internal counter; each call to tibrv_Close() decrements that counter. A call to tibrv_Open() actually creates internal machinery only when the reference counter is zero; subsequent calls merely increment the counter, but do not duplicate the machinery. A call to tibrv_Close() actually destroys the internal machinery only when the call decrements the counter to zero; other calls merely decrement the counter. In each program, the number of calls to tibrv_Open() and tibrv_Close() must match.
