.TH "JOURNAL_STOP" "9" "13 April 2004" "" ""

.SH NAME
journal_stop \- complete a transaction
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fB
.sp
int journal_stop  (handle_t * \fIhandle\fB);
\fR
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.TP
\fB\fIhandle\fB\fR
tranaction to complete.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
All done for a particular handle.
.PP
There is not much action needed here.  We just return any remaining
buffer credits to the transaction and remove the handle.  The only
complication is that we need to start a commit operation if the
filesystem is marked for synchronous update.
.PP
journal_stop itself will not usually return an error, but it may
do so in unusual circumstances.  In particular, expect it to 
return -EIO if a journal_abort has been executed since the
transaction began.
.SH "ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT"
