Parameters

[in]

LUNIT

– integer: Fortran logical unit number for BUFR file

Remarks

• This subroutine will execute a Fortran "CLOSE" on logical unit LUNIT, even though subroutine openbf() didn't previously handle the corresponding Fortran "OPEN" of the same file.
• It's a good idea to call this subroutine for every LUNIT that was opened to the software via openbf(); however, it's especially important to do so when writing/encoding a BUFR file, in order to ensure that all output is properly flushed to LUNIT.

2003-11-04	S. Bender	Added remarks and routine interdependencies
2003-11-04	D. Keyser	Unified/portable for WRF; added history documentation
2012-09-15	J. Woollen	Modified for C/I/O/BUFR interface; added call to closfb() to close C files
2014-12-10	J. Ator	Use modules instead of COMMON blocks
2020-07-16	J. Ator	Add sanity check to ensure that openbf() was previously called (needed for GSI)
