2.3.9 Closing a Large Object Descriptor

A large object descriptor may be closed by calling

int lo_close(PGconn *conn, int fd);

where fd is a large object descriptor returned by lo_open. On success, lo_close returns zero. On error, the return value is negative.

Any large object descriptors that remain open at the end of a transaction will be closed automatically.
