componentlist.close - Function

1.4.2 Save the componentlist to disk and reset its state.
Description

The close function resets the componentlist to its default state. In this state it contains no components and is not associated with any table. This is the same state as a componentlist that has been newly created using the emptycomponentlist constructor.

This function flushes all the components in memory to disk if the componentlist is associated with a table. The table is then closed, and the contents of the list deleted.

If the list is not associated with a table its contents are still deleted and memory used by the list is released.

Arguments

Example

See the example for the rename function.
