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

NAME
     fclose, fflush - close or flush a stream

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>

     int fclose (stream)
     FILE *stream;

     int fflush (stream)
     FILE *stream;

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY
     Level:    HP-UX/RUN ONLY

     Origin:   System V

DESCRIPTION
     _F_c_l_o_s_e causes any buffers for the named _s_t_r_e_a_m  to  be  emp-
     tied,  and  the file to be closed.  Buffers allocated by the
     standard input/output system are freed.

     _F_c_l_o_s_e is performed automatically upon calling _e_x_i_t(2).

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

     These functions return 0 for success, and EOF if any  errors
     were detected.
