The fcloseall() function does not lock the streams, so it is not thread-safe.
Description
The fcloseall() function closes all of the calling process's open streams. Buffered output for each
stream is written before it is closed (as for fflush(3)); buffered input is discarded.
The standard streams, stdin, stdout, and stderr are also closed.
Library
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
