Hi!
> ujson_writer_file_close() uses errno to decide whether flushing the

> errno, when write() returns 0 or more bytes than requested, so close
> could report success even though data was lost. Set errno to EIO in
> these cases.

This is very edge case, most likely we will get ret == 0 if we are
writing to a non-blocking socket or pipe, however the code in the
library does only work on files. Maybe it would have more sense to add a
separtate message for the ret == 0 case:

		if (ret == 0) {
			err(self, "The write() syscall returned 0");
			errno = EAGAIN;
			return 1;
		}

This one looks good.
