I'm not sure what you mean by this exactly, but I assume you're asking if
you need to flush() or setvbuf() the socket file handle. Well I never have
and have never run across any problems.

You can however, set the output and input buffers with the setsockopt()
function but this is something else entirely and is a network layer thing
rather than a feature of the socket interface.
