<p><font size=+1><b>SYNOPSIS     </b></font><br>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

    <i>size</i>[4] <tt><font size=+1>Tclunk</font></tt> <i>tag</i>[2] <i>fid</i>[4]<br>

<p><font size=+1><b>DESCRIPTION     </b></font><br>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

    The <tt><font size=+1>clunk</font></tt> request informs the file server that the current file
    represented by <i>fid</i> is no longer needed by the client. The actual
    file is not removed on the server unless the fid had been opened
    with <tt><font size=+1>ORCLOSE</font></tt>. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    Once a fid has been clunked, the same fid can be reused in a new
    <tt><font size=+1>walk</font></tt> or <tt><font size=+1>attach</font></tt> request. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    Even if the <tt><font size=+1>clunk</font></tt> returns an error, the <i>fid</i> is no longer valid.<br>
    
</table>
<p><font size=+1><b>ENTRY POINTS    </b></font><br>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

    <tt><font size=+1>Clunk</font></tt> transactions are generated by <i>fsclose</i> and <i>fsunmount</i> (see
    <a href="../man3/9pclient.html"><i>9pclient</i>(3)</a>) and indirectly by other actions such as failed <i>fsopen</i>
    calls.<br>
