FCLOSE(3S) (C Programming Language Utilities) FCLOSE(3S)
NAME
fclose, fflush - close or flush a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int fclose (stream)
FILE *stream;
int fflush (stream)
FILE *stream;
DESCRIPTION
fclose causes any buffered data for the named stream to be
written out, and the stream to be closed.
fclose is performed automatically for all open files upon
calling exit(2).
Fflush causes any buffered data for the named stream to be
written to that file. The stream remains open.
SEE ALSO
close(2), exit(2), fopen(3S), setbuf(3S), stdio(3S).
DIAGNOSTICS
These functions return 0 for success, and EOF if any error
(such as trying to write to a file that has not been opened
for writing) was detected.
