891 If a program writes *anything* to stdout, that program should close
892 stdout and make sure that it succeeds before exiting. Otherwise,
893 suppose that you go to the extreme of checking the return status
894 of every function that does an explicit write to stdout. The last
895 printf can succeed in writing to the internal stream buffer, and yet
896 the fclose(stdout) could still fail (due e.g., to a disk full error)
897 when it tries to write out that buffered data. Thus, you would be
898 left with an incomplete output file and the offending program would
899 exit successfully. Even calling fflush is not always sufficient,
900 since some file systems (NFS and CODA) buffer written/flushed data
901 until an actual close call.
902
903 Besides, it's wasteful to check the return value from every call
904 that writes to stdout -- just let the internal stream state record
905 the failure. That's what the ferror test is checking below.
906
907 It's important to detect such failures and exit nonzero because many
908 tools (most notably `make' and other build-management systems) depend
909 on being able to detect failure in other tools via their exit status. */
