Fclose fopen

[Mervine, Keith]

Greetings,
        Would anyone suggest or suggest against using fflush(fp) before
fclose(fp)?  Are there any advantages to using or not using it?  TIA!

Example:

void save_corpses( void )
{
    FILE * fp;
    CORPSE_DATA * c;

    fclose( fpReserve );

    if ( ( fp = fopen( CORPSE_FILE, "w" ) ) == NULL )
    {
        bug( "save_corpses :: " CORPSE_FILE " not found.", 0 );
    }
    else
    {
        for( c = corpse_list; c != NULL; c = c->next )
        {
            fwrite_obj( NULL, c->corpse, fp, 0 );
        }
        fprintf( fp, "#END\n" );

        fflush( fp );
        fclose( fp );
    }

    fpReserve = fopen( NULL_FILE, "r" );
    return;

}
