Clarify closedir()'s treatment of underlying file descriptor.
At the end of the paragraph in opendir(3) describing fdopendir(), I think it's worth adding "The file descriptor will be closed when closedir() is called." It's a bit ambiguous if the file descriptor is closed or "given back" at closedir time. (I've tested this and verified that it's true, BTW.) Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
