fclose

Usage

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

   ANSI

Description

   fclose closes the file associated with the stream fp. Any data in the
   output buffer for fp is flushed (written to the file) before closing.

Example 

   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>

   int main()
   {
       FILE *fp;
       fp = fopen("file.dta","r");
       if (fp == NULL) {
           printf("Datafile not opened\n");
           return EXIT_FAILURE;
       }
       else
           {
               fclose(fp);
               printf("File file.dta closed using fclose\n");
           }
       return EXIT_SUCCESS;

   }

Return Value

   fclose returns 0 if the stream successfully closed. A -1 is returned on
   error.
