The f
\bfc
\bcl

\bos
\bse
\be() function dissociates the named _
\bs_
\bt_
\br_
\be_
\ba_
\bm from its underlying
file or set of functions. If the stream was being used for output, any
buffered data is written first, using fflush(3).

Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, EOF is returned and
the global variable _
\be_
\br_
\br_
\bn_
\bo is set to indicate the error. In either case
no further access to the stream is possible.
[EBADF] The argument _
\bs_
\bt_
\br_
\be_
\ba_
\bm is not an open stream.
The f
\bfc
\bcl

\bos
\bse
\be() function may also fail and set _
\be_
\br_
\br_
\bn_
\bo for any of the errors
specified for the routines close(2) or fflush(3).
