NAME
fcloseall - close all open streams
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <stdio.h>
int fcloseall(void);
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.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The
fcloseall()
function does not lock the streams, so it is not thread-safe.
CONFORMING TO
This function is a GNU extension.
