  Gnulib module: fclose
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  On some platforms, this function fails to set the file position of a
  seekable input stream to the byte after the last one actually read:
  glibc 2.13, FreeBSD.
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), @code{socket} and @code{accept}
  followed by @code{fdopen} do not return streams that can be closed by
  @code{fclose}.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set @code{errno}
  upon failure.
  @end itemize
