fflush <STDIO.H>
Flushes a stream
Declaration:
int fflush(FILE *stream);
Remarks:
If the given stream has buffered output, fflush writes the output for stream
to the associated file.
The stream remains open after fflush has executed. fflush has no effect on
an unbuffered stream.
Return Value
On success, returns 0
On error, returns EOF
Example:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <io.h>
void flush(FILE *stream);
int main(void)
{
FILE *stream;
char msg[] = "This is a test";
/* create a file */
stream = fopen("DUMMY.FIL", "w");
/* write some data to the file */
fwrite(msg, strlen(msg), 1, stream);
clrscr();
printf("Press any key to flush DUMMY.FIL:");
getch();
/* flush the data to DUMMY.FIL without closing it */
flush(stream);
printf("\nFile was flushed, Press any key to quit:");
getch();
return 0;
}
void flush(FILE *stream)
{
int duphandle;
/* flush the stream's internal buffer */
fflush(stream);
/* make a duplicate file handle */
duphandle = dup(fileno(stream));
/* close the duplicate handle to flush the DOS buffer */
close(duphandle);
}
