48
49 Since close_stdout is commonly registered via 'atexit', POSIX
50 and the C standard both say that it should not call 'exit',
51 because the behavior is undefined if 'exit' is called more than
52 once. So it calls '_exit' instead of 'exit'. If close_stdout
53 is registered via atexit before other functions are registered,
54 the other functions can act before this _exit is invoked.
55
56 Applications that use close_stdout should flush any streams
57 other than stdout and stderr before exiting, since the call to
58 _exit will bypass other buffer flushing. Applications should
59 be flushing and closing other streams anyway, to check for I/O
60 errors. Also, applications should not use tmpfile, since _exit
61 can bypass the removal of these files.
62
63 It's important to detect such failures and exit nonzero because many
64 tools (most notably `make' and other build-management systems) depend
65 on being able to detect failure in other tools via their exit status. */
