fclose
Closes a file opened by imsls_fopen.
Synopsis
#include <imsls.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int imsls_fclose (FILE *file)
Required Arguments
FILE *file (Input/Output)
A file pointer returned from imsls_fopen.
Return Value
The return value is zero if the file is successfully closed. If there is an error, EOF is returned. EOF is defined in stdio.h.
Description
The function imsls_fclose is a wrapper around the standard C runtime function fclose. It is used to close files opened with imsls_fopen.
Note: The function imsls_fopen should only be used to open a file whose file pointer will be input to an IMSL C Stat Library function. Use imsls_fclose to close files opened with imsls_fopen. |
Note: This function is not prototyped in imsls.h. This is to avoid including stdio.h within imsls.h. An extern declaration should be explicitly used to assure compatibility with linkers. |
Example
