<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>fclose</B>()
|
|
|
|
function flushes the stream pointed to by
|
|
<I>stream</I>
|
|
|
|
(writing any buffered output data using
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+fflush">fflush</A></B>(3))
|
|
|
|
and closes the underlying file descriptor.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The behaviour of
|
|
<B>fclose</B>()
|
|
|
|
is undefined if the
|
|
<I>stream</I>
|
|
|
|
parameter is an illegal pointer, or is a descriptor already passed
|
|
to a previous invocation of
|
|
<B>fclose</B>().
|
|
|
|
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
<B>EOF</B>
|
|
|
|
is returned and
|
|
<I>errno</I>
|
|
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
In either case, any further access
|
|
(including another call to
|
|
<B>fclose</B>())
|
|
|
|
to the stream results in undefined behavior.

Note that

<B>fclose</B>()
|

|
|
flushes only the user-space buffers provided by the
|
|
C library.
|
|
To ensure that the data is physically stored
|
|
on disk the kernel buffers must be flushed too, for example, with
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+sync">sync</A></B>(2)
|
|
|
|
or
