On error, issue a diagnostic and _exit with status 'exit_failure'. Then call close_stdout. Most programs can get by with close_stdout. close_stdin is only needed when a program wants to guarantee that partially read input from seekable stdin is not consumed, for any subsequent clients. For example, POSIX requires that these two commands behave alike: (sed -ne 1q; cat) < file tail -n 1 file Since close_stdin is commonly registered via 'atexit', POSIX and the C standard both say that it should not call 'exit', because the behavior is undefined if 'exit' is called more than once. So it calls '_exit' instead of 'exit'. If close_stdin is registered via atexit before other functions are registered, the other functions can act before this _exit is invoked. Applications that use close_stdout should flush any streams other than stdin, stdout, and stderr before exiting, since the call to _exit will bypass other buffer flushing. Applications should be flushing and closing other streams anyway, to check for I/O errors. Also, applications should not use tmpfile, since _exit can bypass the removal of these files. It's important to detect such failures and exit nonzero because many tools (most notably `make' and other build-management systems) depend on being able to detect failure in other tools via their exit status. */ void close_stdin (void) { bool fail = false; /* There is no need to flush stdin if we can determine quickly that stdin's input buffer is empty; in this case we know that if stdin is seekable, fseeko (stdin, 0, SEEK_CUR) == lseek (0, 0, SEEK_CUR). */ if (freadahead (stdin) > 0) { /* Only attempt flush if stdin is seekable, as fflush is entitled to fail on non-seekable streams. */ if (fseeko (stdin, 0, SEEK_CUR) == 0 && fflush (stdin) != 0) fail = true; } if (close_stream (stdin) != 0) fail = true; if (fail) { /* Report failure, but defer exit until after closing stdout, since the failure report should still be flushed. */ char const *close_error = _("error closing file"); if (file_name) error (0, errno, "%s: %s", quotearg_colon (file_name), close_error); else error (0, errno, "%s", close_error); } close_stdout (); if (fail) _exit (exit_failure); }
