=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedClose - Write C<< my $error = close $fh; >> instead of C<< close $fh; >>.

=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

The perl builtin I/O function C<close> returns a false value on
failure. That value should be checked to ensure that the close was
successful.


    my $error = close $filehandle;                   # ok
    close $filehandle or die "unable to close: $!";  # ok
    close $filehandle;                               # not ok

    use autodie qw< :io >;
    close $filehandle;                               # ok

You can use L<autodie|autodie>, L<Fatal|Fatal>, or
L<Fatal::Exception|Fatal::Exception> to get around
this.  Currently, L<autodie|autodie> is not properly treated as a pragma; its
lexical effects aren't taken into account.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
