<b>proc_close()</b> is similar to <a href="function.pclose.php" class="function">pclose()</a>
except that it only works on processes opened by
<a href="function.proc-open.php" class="function">proc_open()</a>.
<b>proc_close()</b> waits for the process to terminate, and
returns its exit code. If you have open pipes to that process, you
should <a href="function.fclose.php" class="function">fclose()</a> them prior to calling this function in
order to avoid a deadlock - the child process may not be able to exit
while the pipes are open.
