     FCLOSE(S)                 UNIX System V                 FCLOSE(S)



     Name
          fclose, fflush - close or flush a stream

     Syntax
          #include <stdio.h>

          int fclose (stream)
          FILE *stream;

          int fflush (stream)
          FILE *stream;

     Description
          The fclose function causes any buffered data for the named
          stream to be written out, and the stream to be closed.

          The fclose function is performed automatically for all open
          files upon calling exit(S).

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

     See Also
          close(S), exit(S), fopen(S), setbuf(S), stdio(S)

     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.
