fffflluusshh, ffppuurrggee - flush a stream

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
The function fffflluusshh() forces a write of all buffered data for the given
output or update _s_t_r_e_a_m via the stream's underlying write function. The
open status of the stream is unaffected.
If the _s_t_r_e_a_m argument is NULL, fffflluusshh() flushes _a_l_l open output streams.
The function ffppuurrggee() erases any input or output buffered in the given
_s_t_r_e_a_m. 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 getc(3); this includes any text pushed back via ungetc.
RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, EOF is returned and
the global variable _e_r_r_n_o is set to indicate the error.
EERRRROORRSS
[EBADF] _S_t_r_e_a_m is not an open stream, or, in the case of fffflluusshh(), not a
stream open for writing.
The function fffflluusshh() may also fail and set _e_r_r_n_o for any of the errors
specified for the routine write(2).

The fffflluusshh() function conforms to ANSI C3.1591989 (``ANSI C'').
