Description

   When a program terminates normally, the fclose function is
   automatically called for all open files.

   The fclose function tries to write buffered data by using an
   implicit call to fflush.

   If the write fails (because the disk is full or the user's quota
   is exceeded, for example), fclose continues executing. It closes
   the OpenVMS channel, deallocates any buffers, and releases the
   memory associated with the file descriptor (or FILE pointer). Any
   buffered data is lost, and the file descriptor (or FILE pointer)
   no longer refers to the file.

   If your program needs to recover from errors when flushing
   buffered data, it should make an explicit call to fsync (or
   fflush) before calling fclose.
