Declaration

public static JobHandle CloseCachedFileAsync(string fileName, JobHandle dependency);

Parameters

Parameter Description
fileName The path to the file to close.
dependency (Optional) A JobHandle to wait on before performing the close.

Returns

JobHandle A JobHandle that completes when the asynchronous close operation finishes.

Description

Closes a file held open internally by the AsyncReadManager.

The AsyncReadManager has an internal cache of up to 10 open files, so use this method if you experience a sharing violation when trying to access one of these files that is held open.

Notes:

  • Do not use this method for files opened with OpenFileAsync, as these files do not go into the AsyncReadManager's file cache. Use FileHandle.Close instead.
  • On Windows and Xbox platforms, this method has no effect as cached files are not maintained for these platforms.
