[Raspbian-devel] Query on behaviour of open-streams upon process-termination

[Jeff Loughlin]

The answers to that Stack Overflow question seem pretty clear to me. What exactly do you need clarified?  It's not the OS but the C RTL, and the standard doesn't specify. To me, that means you better flush and close your streams before you call exit(), or your program is likely to break.
