.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The function
|
|
.BR fflush
|
|
forces a write of all buffered data for the given output or update
|
|
.I stream

The open status of the stream is unaffected.

|
|
argument is
|
|
.BR NULL ,

.BR fflush

|
flushes
|
|
.IR all
|
|
open output streams.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The function
|
|
.BR fpurge
|
|
erases any input or output buffered in the given

|
.IR stream .
|
|
For output streams this discards any unwritten output.
|
|
For input streams this discards any input read from the underlying object
|
|
but not yet obtained via
|
|
.BR getc (3);
|
|
this includes any text pushed back via
|
|
.BR ungetc .
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion 0 is returned.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.BR EOF
|
|
is returned and the global variable
|
|
.IR errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
