-.SH NAME
-fclose \- close a stream
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <stdio.h>
-.PP
-.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)).
-.PP
-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 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).
