FCLOSE(3S)              GENIX Programmer's Manual              FCLOSE(3S)



      NAME
           fclose, fflush - close or flush a stream

      SYNOPSIS
           #include <stdio.h>

           fclose(stream)
           FILE *stream;

           fflush(stream)
           FILE *stream;

      DESCRIPTION
           Fclose causes any buffers for the named stream to  be  emptied,  and
           the   file   to  be  closed.   Buffers  allocated  by  the  standard
           input/output system are freed.

           Fclose is performed automatically upon calling exit(2).

           Fflush causes any buffered data for the named output  stream  to  be
           written to that file.  The stream remains open.

      SEE ALSO
           close(2), fopen(3), setbuf(3)

      DIAGNOSTICS
           These routines return EOF if stream is not associated with an output
           file, or if buffered data cannot be transferred to that file.
