-/* Close standard output, exiting with status 'exit_failure' on failure.
-   If a program writes *anything* to stdout, that program should `fflush'
-   stdout and make sure that it succeeds before exiting.  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.
-
-   FIXME: note the fflush suggested above is implicit in the fclose
-   we actually do below.  Consider doing only the fflush and/or using
-   setvbuf to inhibit buffering.
-
-   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.

+/* Specify the reaction to an EPIPE error during the closing of stdout:
+     - If ignore = true, it shall be ignored.
+     - If ignore = false, it shall evoke a diagnostic, along with a nonzero
+       exit status.
+   The default is ignore = false.
+
+   This setting matters only if the SIGPIPE signal is ignored (i.e. its
+   handler set to SIG_IGN) or blocked.  Only particular programs need to
+   temporarily ignore SIGPIPE.  If SIGPIPE is ignored or blocked because
+   it was ignored or blocked in the parent process when it created the
+   child process, it usually is a bug in the parent process: It is bad
+   practice to have SIGPIPE ignored or blocked while creating a child
+   process.
+
+   EPIPE occurs when writing to a pipe or socket that has no readers now,
+   when SIGPIPE is ignored or blocked.
+
+   The ignore = false setting is suitable for a scenario where it is normally
+   guaranteed that the pipe writer terminates before the pipe reader.  In
+   this case, an EPIPE is an indication of a premature termination of the
+   pipe reader and should lead to a diagnostic and a nonzero exit status.
+
+   The ignore = true setting is suitable for a scenario where you don't know
+   ahead of time whether the pipe writer or the pipe reader will terminate
+   first.  In this case, an EPIPE is an indication that the pipe writer can
+   stop doing useless write() calls; this is what close_stdout does anyway.
+   EPIPE is part of the normal pipe/socket shutdown protocol in this case,
+   and should not lead to a diagnostic message.  */

+
+   Since close_stdout 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_stdout
+   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 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.
