      NAME
           fclose, fflush - close or flush a stream

      SYNTAX
           #include <stdio.h>

           int fclose (stream)
           FILE *stream;

           int fflush (stream)
           FILE *stream;

      DESCRIPTION
           Fclose causes any buffered data for the named stream to be
           written out, and the stream to be closed.

           Fclose is performed automatically for all open files upon
           calling exit(2).

           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.

      SEE ALSO
           close(2), exit(2), fopen(3S), setbuf(3S).
