LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

DESCRIPTION

The fcloseall() function closes all of the calling process's open streams. Buffered output for each stream is written before it is closed (as for fflush(3)); buffered input is discarded.

The standard streams, stdin, stdout, and stderr are also closed.

RETURN VALUE

This function returns 0 if all files were successfully closed; on error, EOF is returned.
