C 7 NAME
fclose - close a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h> int fclose(FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
Fclose dissociates the named
stream from its underlying file or set of functions.
If the stream was being used for output, any buffered data is written
first, using
fflush (3). Any allocated memory is
free 'd. "SEE ALSO"
close(2), fflush(3), fopen(3), free(3), setbuf(3)
"RETURN VALUE"
Upon successful completion 0 is returned.
Otherwise,
EOF is returned and the global variable
errno is set to indicate the error.
In either case no further access to the stream is possible.
ERRORS
15 [EBADF] Stream is not an open stream.
Fclose may also fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the routines close (2) or fflush (3).
STANDARDS
Fclose conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'').
