| Available in Requirement set | File |
| Added in | 1.1 |
File.closeAsync(callback);
Parameters
callback
Type: object
A function that is invoked when the callback returns, whose only parameter is of type AsyncResult. Optional.
Callback Value
When the function you passed to the callback parameter executes, it receives an AsyncResult object that you can access from the callback function's only parameter.
In the callback function passed to the closeAsync method, you can use the properties of the AsyncResult object to return the following information.
| Property | Use to... |
|---|---|
| AsyncResult.value | Always returns undefined because there is no object or data to retrieve. |
| AsyncResult.status | Determine the success or failure of the operation. |
| AsyncResult.error | Access an Error object that provides error information if the operation failed. |
| AsyncResult.asyncContext | Access your user-defined object or value, if you passed one as the asyncContext parameter. |
Remarks
No more than two documents are allowed to be in memory; otherwise the Document.getFileAsync operation will fail. Use the File.closeAsync method to close the file when you are finished working with it.
