     _F_c_l_o_s_e causes any buffers for the named _s_t_r_e_a_m to be emp-
     tied, and the file to be closed.  Buffers allocated by the
     standard input/output system are freed.

     _F_c_l_o_s_e is performed automatically upon calling _e_x_i_t(3).

     _F_f_l_u_s_h causes any buffered data for the named output _s_t_r_e_a_m
     to be written to that file.  The stream remains open.

     _F_p_u_r_g_e causes any buffered data for the named _s_t_r_e_a_m to be
     lost.  The stream remains open.

     These routines return EEOOFF if _s_t_r_e_a_m is not associated with
     an output file, or if buffered data cannot be transferred to
     that file.
