+ 'exit_failure'. Then call close_stdout.
+
+ Most programs can get by with close_stdout. close_stdin is only
+ needed when a program wants to guarantee that partially read input
+ from seekable stdin is not consumed, for any subsequent clients.
+ For example, POSIX requires that these two commands behave alike:
+
+ (sed -ne 1q; cat) < file
+ tail -n +2 file
+
+ Since close_stdin is commonly registered via 'atexit', POSIX
+ and the C standard both say that it should not call 'exit',
+ because the behavior is undefined if 'exit' is called more than
+ once. So it calls '_exit' instead of 'exit'. If close_stdin
+ is registered via atexit before other functions are registered,
+ the other functions can act before this _exit is invoked.
+
+ Applications that use close_stdout should flush any streams other
+ than stdin, stdout, and stderr before exiting, since the call to
+ _exit will bypass other buffer flushing. Applications should be
+ flushing and closing other streams anyway, to check for I/O errors.
+ Also, applications should not use tmpfile, since _exit can bypass
+ the removal of these files.
+
+ 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. */
