71 In general, omitting a function means that any attempt to perform the
72 associated operation on the resulting stream will fail.
73 If the close function is omitted, closing the stream will flush
74 any buffered output and then succeed.

105 They are also not required to completely fill or empty the buffer.
106 They are not, however, allowed to change streams from unbuffered to buffered
107 or to change the state of the line buffering flag.
108 They must also be prepared to have read or write calls occur on buffers other

113 functions can report an error by returning \-1.
