# close abstract method

Future close()
override

Closes the stream.

No further events can be added to a closed stream.

The returned future is the same future provided by done. It is completed when the stream listeners is done sending events, This happens either when the done event has been sent, or when the subscriber on a single-subscription stream is canceled.

A stream controller will not complete the returned future until all listeners present when the done event is sent have stopped listening. A listener will stop listening if it is cancelled, or if it has handled the done event. A paused listener will not process the done even until it is resumed, so completion of the returned Future will be delayed until all paused listeners have been resumed or cancelled.

If no one listens to a non-broadcast stream, or the listener pauses and never resumes, the done event will not be sent and this future will never complete.

## Implementation

    Future close();
