Something like?

"
/*
 * Register a memory reset callback to close an open WAL segment.
 *
 * This is intended for unmanaged file descriptors, such as those returned by
 * BasicOpenFile().  It should not be used for descriptors subject to another
 * cleanup mechanism, such as those returned by OpenTransientFile(), as those
 * may already be closed when this callback runs.
 */
