FFLUSH(3)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 FFLUSH(3)



 

NAME


       fflush - flush a stream

 

SYNOPSIS


       #include 

       int fflush(FILE *stream);

 

DESCRIPTION






       The  function  fflush()  forces a write of all user-space buffered data
       for the given output or update stream via the stream's underlying write
       function.  The open status of the stream is unaffected.

       If  the  stream  argument  is  NULL,  fflush()  flushes all open output
       streams.

       For a non-locking counterpart, see unlocked_stdio(3).

 

RETURN VALUE


       Upon successful completion 0 is returned.  Otherwise, EOF  is  returned
       and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

 

ERRORS


       EBADF  Stream is not an open stream, or is not open for writing.

       The function fflush() may also fail and set errno for any of the errors
       specified for the routine write(2).

 

CONFORMING TO


       C89, C99.

 

NOTES


       Note that fflush() only flushes the user space buffers provided by  the
       C  library.   To  ensure that the data is physically stored on disk the
       kernel buffers must be  flushed  too,  for  example,  with  sync(2)  or
       fsync(2).
