Description
This function terminates encryption specified by the encryption
descriptor (td). It clears all buffers, but does
not close the module. You need to call
mcrypt_module_close() yourself. (But PHP does this for
you at the end of the script.)
Parameters

td -
The encryption descriptor.
Return Values
