NAME

     fclose, fflush - close or flush a stream


SYNOPSIS

     #include <stdio.h>

     int fclose(FILE *stream)
     int fflush(FILE *stream)


DESCRIPTION

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

     Fclose is performed automatically upon calling exit(3).

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


SEE ALSO

     close(2), fopen(3), setbuf(3).


DIAGNOSTICS

     These routines return EOF if stream is not  associated  with
     an output file, or if buffered data cannot be transferred to
     that file.
