  48 /* Close standard input, rewinding any unused input if stdin is
  49    seekable.  On error, issue a diagnostic and _exit with status
  50    'exit_failure'.  Then call close_stdout.
  51 
  52    Most programs can get by with close_stdout.  close_stdin is only
  53    needed when a program wants to guarantee that partially read input
  54    from seekable stdin is not consumed, for any subsequent clients.
  55    For example, POSIX requires that these two commands behave alike:
  56 
  57      (sed -ne 1q; cat) < file
  58      tail -n +2 file
  59 
  60    Since close_stdin is commonly registered via 'atexit', POSIX
  61    and the C standard both say that it should not call 'exit',
  62    because the behavior is undefined if 'exit' is called more than
  63    once.  So it calls '_exit' instead of 'exit'.  If close_stdin
  64    is registered via atexit before other functions are registered,
  65    the other functions can act before this _exit is invoked.
  66 
  67    Applications that use close_stdout should flush any streams other
  68    than stdin, stdout, and stderr before exiting, since the call to
  69    _exit will bypass other buffer flushing.  Applications should be
  70    flushing and closing other streams anyway, to check for I/O errors.
  71    Also, applications should not use tmpfile, since _exit can bypass
  72    the removal of these files.
  73 
  74    It's important to detect such failures and exit nonzero because many
  75    tools (most notably 'make' and other build-management systems) depend
  76    on being able to detect failure in other tools via their exit status.  */
