/* There are two approaches for detecting a write error on a stream opened
for writing:
(a) Test the return value of every fwrite() or fprintf() call, and react
immediately.
(b) Just before fclose(), test the error indicator in the stream and
the return value of the final fflush() or fclose() call.
The benefit of (a) is that non file related errors (such that ENOMEM during
fprintf) and temporary error conditions can be diagnosed accurately.
A theoretical benefit of (a) is also that, on POSIX systems, in the case of
an ENOSPC error, errno is set and can be used by error() to provide a more
accurate error message. But in practice, this benefit is not big because
users can easily figure out by themselves why a file cannot be written to,
and furthermore the function fwriteerror() can provide errno as well.
The big drawback of (a) is extensive error checking code: Every function
which does stream output must return an error indicator.
This file provides support for (b). */
#include <stdio.h>
/* Write out the not yet written buffered contents of the stream FP, and then
test whether some error occurred on the stream FP. FP must be a stream
opened for writing.
Return 0 if no error occurred. In this case it can be assumed that
fclose (fp) will succeed.
Return -1 and set errno if there was an error. The errno value will be 0
if the cause of the error cannot be determined.
