fclose, fflush --
close or flush a stream
Syntax
cc . . . -lc
#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.
fflush causes any buffered data for the named
stream to be written to that file.
The stream remains open.
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.
