-/* Close STREAM. Return 0 if successful, EOF (setting errno)
- otherwise. A failure might set errno to 0 if the error number
- cannot be determined.
-
- If a program writes *anything* to STREAM, that program should close
- STREAM and make sure that it succeeds before exiting. Otherwise,
- suppose that you go to the extreme of checking the return status
- of every function that does an explicit write to STREAM. The last
- printf can succeed in writing to the internal stream buffer, and yet
- the fclose(STREAM) could still fail (due e.g., to a disk full error)
- when it tries to write out that buffered data. Thus, you would be
- left with an incomplete output file and the offending program would
- exit successfully. Even calling fflush is not always sufficient,
- since some file systems (NFS and CODA) buffer written/flushed data
- until an actual close call.
-
- Besides, it's wasteful to check the return value from every call
- that writes to STREAM -- just let the internal stream state record
- the failure. That's what the ferror test is checking below. */

- is invoked like this `cp a b >&-' (i.e., with standard output
