Closes the stream for writing if open for writing; returns nil. See Open and Closed Streams.

Flushes any buffered writes to the operating system before closing.

If the stream was opened by IO.popen and is also closed for reading, sets global variable $? (child exit status).

Example

IO.popen('ruby', 'r+') do |pipe|
  puts pipe.closed?
  pipe.close_read
  puts pipe.closed?
  pipe.close_write
  puts $?
  puts pipe.closed?
end

Output:

false
false
pid 15044 exit 0
true
