fclose

raw OCR

Closes a stream.

Defined in header <stdio.h>

Syntax

#include <stdio.h>
int fclose(FILE *stream);

Portability

■■■■

Remarks

fclose closes the named stream. All buffers associated with the stream are flushed before closing. System-allocated buffers are freed upon closing. Buffers assigned with setbuf or setvbuf are not automatically freed. (But if setvbuf is passed null for the buffer pointer, it will free it upon close.)

Return value

fclose returns 0 on success. It returns EOF if any errors were detected.

Example

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)

   FILE *fp;
   char buf[ll] = "0123456789";

   /* create a file containing 10 bytes */
   fp = fopen("DUMMY.FIL", "w");
   if (fp) {
      fwrite(&buf, strlen(buf), 1, fp) ;
      fclose(fp);      /* close the file */
   }
   else
      printf("Unable to open file!\n");
   return 0;
