FILE OFLU

FILE OFLU is a CAOS command to do with I/O.

Usage

Syntax: FILE OFLU

Flushes the output stream. Data in the output stream may not be sent immediately, but may build up a little (be buffered) before being written to wherever it should go. FILE OFLU forces it to be written immediately.

If writing to a journal file with FILE OOPE the buffer will be written to disk immediately (although it may then wait in the operating system's disk buffer...)
