cf.close_files

cf.close_files(file_format=None)[source]

Close open files containing sub-arrays of data arrays.

By default all such files are closed, but this may be restricted to files of a particular format.

Note that closed files will be automatically reopened if subsequently needed by a variable to access the sub-array.

If there are no appropriate open files then no action is taken.
