/* Why do we care about stdout you may ask? Here's why, from Jim
Meyering in the lib/closeout.c file. */
/* If a program writes *anything* to stdout, that program should close
stdout and make sure that the close succeeds. Otherwise, suppose that
you go to the extreme of checking the return status of every function
that does an explicit write to stdout. The last printf can succeed in
writing to the internal stream buffer, and yet the fclose(stdout) could
still fail (due e.g., to a disk full error) when it tries to write
out that buffered data. Thus, you would be left with an incomplete
output file and the offending program would exit successfully.
Besides, it's wasteful to check the return value from every call
that writes to stdout -- just let the internal stream state record
the failure. That's what the ferror test is checking below.
It's important to detect such failures and exit nonzero because many
tools (most notably `make' and other build-management systems) depend
on being able to detect failure in other tools via their exit status. */
