dbquit

void dbquit(void)

This function closes all open database files. It also resets the following:

• the factor used for converting between samples and seconds (reset to 1), and the base time (reset to 0, i.e., midnight); see section [ms]timstr
• the parameters used for converting between adus and physical units (reset to DEFGAIN adu/mV, a quantity defined in `<ecg/db.h>'); see section aduphys
• internal variables used to determine output signal specifications; see section newheader.

If any annotations have been written out-of-order (see section Annotation Order), this function attempts to run `sortann' (see the ECG Database Applications Guide) as a subprocess to restore the annotations to canonical order. If this cannot be done, it prints a warning message indicating that the annotations are not in order, and providing instructions for putting them in order.

Programs that do not write annotations or signals need not use dbquit.
