Closing a stream multiple times will not return an error.
Streams will be automatically closed when the last reference
is dropped, but you might want to call this function to make sure
resources are released as early as possible.
Some streams might keep the backing store of the stream (e.g. a file descriptor)
open after the stream is closed. See the documentation for the individual
stream for details.
On failure the first error that happened will be reported, but the close
operation will finish as much as possible. A stream that failed to
close will still return G_IO_ERROR_CLOSED
for all operations. Still, it
is important to check and report the error to the user.
If cancellable
is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by
triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED
will be returned.
Cancelling a close will still leave the stream closed, but some streams
can use a faster close that doesn't block to e.g. check errors.
