/* Close standard input, rewinding any unused input if stdin is
   seekable.  On error, issue a diagnostic and _exit with status
   'exit_failure'.  Then call close_stdout.

   Most programs can get by with close_stdout.  close_stdin is only
   needed when a program wants to guarantee that partially read input
   from seekable stdin is not consumed, for any subsequent clients.
   For example, POSIX requires that these two commands behave alike:

     (sed -ne 1q; cat) < file
     tail -n +2 file

   Since close_stdin is commonly registered via 'atexit', POSIX
   and the C standard both say that it should not call 'exit',
   because the behavior is undefined if 'exit' is called more than
   once.  So it calls '_exit' instead of 'exit'.  If close_stdin
   is registered via atexit before other functions are registered,
   the other functions can act before this _exit is invoked.

   Applications that use close_stdout should flush any streams other
   than stdin, stdout, and stderr before exiting, since the call to
   _exit will bypass other buffer flushing.  Applications should be
   flushing and closing other streams anyway, to check for I/O errors.
   Also, applications should not use tmpfile, since _exit can bypass
   the removal of these files.

   It's important to detect such failures and exit nonzero because many
   tools (most notably 'make' and other build-management systems) depend
   on being able to detect failure in other tools via their exit status.  */
