+.SH NAME
+fclose \- close a stream
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <stdio.h>
+.P
+.BI "int fclose(FILE *" stream );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR fclose ()
+function flushes the stream pointed to by
+.I stream
+(writing any buffered output data using
+.BR fflush (3))
+and closes the underlying file descriptor.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Upon successful completion, 0 is returned.
+Otherwise,
+.B EOF
+is returned and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+In either case, any further access
+(including another call to
+.BR fclose ())
+to the stream results in undefined behavior.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EBADF
+The file descriptor underlying
+.I stream
+is not valid.
+.\"  This error cannot occur unless you are mixing ANSI C stdio operations and
+.\"  low-level file operations on the same stream. If you do get this error,
+.\"  you must have closed the stream's low-level file descriptor using
+.\"  something like close(fileno(stream)).
+.P
+The
+.BR fclose ()
+function may also fail and set
+.I errno
+for any of the errors specified for the routines
+.BR close (2),
+.BR write (2),
+or
+.BR fflush (3).
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
+.BR attributes (7).

+.SH NOTES
+Note that
+.BR fclose ()
+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
+.BR sync (2)
+or
+.BR fsync (2).
