| 1662 | 45 /* Close standard output, exiting with status STATUS on failure. |
| 46 If a program writes *anything* to stdout, that program should close | |
| 47 stdout and make sure that the close succeeds. Otherwise, suppose that | |
| 48 you go to the extreme of checking the return status of every function | |
| 49 that does an explicit write to stdout. The last printf can succeed in | |
| 50 writing to the internal stream buffer, and yet the fclose(stdout) could | |
| 51 still fail (due e.g., to a disk full error) when it tries to write | |
| 52 out that buffered data. Thus, you would be left with an incomplete | |
| 53 output file and the offending program would exit successfully. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 Besides, it's wasteful to check the return value from every call | |
| 56 that writes to stdout -- just let the internal stream state record | |
| 57 the failure. That's what the ferror test is checking below. | |
| 58 | |
| 59 It's important to detect such failures and exit nonzero because many | |
| 60 tools (most notably `make' and other build-management systems) depend | |
| 61 on being able to detect failure in other tools via their exit status. */ | |
