CLUNK(5)                                                 CLUNK(5)

     NAME
          clunk - forget about a fid

     SYNOPSIS
          Tclunk  tag[2] fid[2]
          Rclunk  tag[2] fid[2]

     DESCRIPTION
          The clunk request informs the file server that the current
          file represented by fid is no longer needed by the client.
          The actual file is not removed on the server.

          Once a fid has been clunked, the same fid can be reused in a
          new clone request.

          Even if the clunk returns an error, the fid is no longer
          valid.

     ENTRY POINTS
          A clunk message is generated by close and indirectly by
          other actions such as failed open calls.
