+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fclose ,
+.Nm fdclose ,
+.Nm fcloseall
+.Nd close a stream
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In stdio.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn fclose "FILE *stream"
+.Ft int
+.Fn fdclose "FILE *stream" "int *fdp"
+.Ft void
+.Fn fcloseall void
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn fclose
+function
+dissociates the named
+.Fa stream
+from its underlying file or set of functions.
+If the stream was being used for output, any buffered data is written
+first, using
+.Xr fflush 3 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fdclose
+function is equivalent to
+.Fn fclose
+except that it does not close the underlying file descriptor.
+If
+.Fa fdp
+is not
+.Dv NULL ,
+the file descriptor will be written to it.
+If the stream does not have an associated file descriptor,
+.Fa fdp
+will be set to -1.
+This type of stream is created with functions such as
+.Xr fmemopen 3 ,
+.Xr funopen 3 ,
+or
+.Xr open_memstream 3 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fcloseall
+function calls
+.Fn fclose
+on all open streams.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Fn fcloseall
+does not return a value.
+.Pp
+Upon successful completion the
+.Fn fclose
+and
+.Fn fdclose
+functions return 0.
+Otherwise,
+.Dv EOF
+is returned and the global variable
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn fdclose
+fails if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
+The stream does not have an associated file descriptor.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fclose
+and
+.Fn fdclose
+functions may also fail and set
+.Va errno
+for any of the errors specified for
+.Xr fflush 3 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fclose
+function may also fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for
+.Xr close 2 .
+.Sh NOTES
+The
+.Fn fclose
+and
+.Fn fdclose
+functions do not handle NULL arguments in the
+.Fa stream
+variable; this will result in a segmentation violation.
+This is intentional.
+It makes it easier to make sure programs written under
+.Fx
+are bug free.
+This behaviour is an implementation detail, and programs should not
+rely upon it.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr close 2 ,
+.Xr fflush 3 ,
+.Xr fopen 3 ,
+.Xr setbuf 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn fclose
+function
+conforms to
+.St -isoC .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn fcloseall
+function first appeared in
+.Fx 7.0 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fdclose
+function first appeared in
+.Fx 11.0 .
