ConnectionTerminationRoutine

You can define a fragment termination routine that is executed by the Code Fragment Manager when a fragment is unloaded from memory. A termination routine has the following type definition:

typedef void ConnectionTerminationRoutine (void);

DESCRIPTION

A fragment's termination routine is executed immediately before the fragment is unloaded from memory. You can use the termination routine to perform any necessary clean-up tasks, such as closing open resource files or disposing of any memory allocated by the fragment.

Note that a termination routine is not passed any parameters and does not return any result. You are expected to maintain any information about the fragment (such as file reference numbers of any open files) in its static data area.
