How to properly close a dets file?
Sometimes when I stop an app where I have been writing to a dets table, when I later open it it shows:
dets: file "records" not properly closed, repairing ...
Although the file seems to be quite ok once opened.
On the app I’m just starting the dets table, doing a bunch of insert_new into it and not worrying about anything else. Is there a proper way of closing a dets once I’ve written to it?

I’d try :dets.close/1:
Closes a table. Only processes that have opened a table are allowed to close it.
All open tables must be closed before the system is stopped. If an attempt is made to open a table that is not properly closed, Dets automatically tries to repair it.
