Hi all. --- Jason Mills <jmills AT cs DOT mun DOT ca> wrote: > Thanks enlightening me. (For some reason, I always assumed flush > meant > flush to the disk.....) flush flushes the output stream from the library buffer to the OS buffer - this is generally done automatically every time you output a newline. There may be a delay before the OS sync's the OS buffer to the disk. As someone else mentioned, on Linux you've been lucky - if you need to know the data is on-disk, you need to use sync/fsync. ===== -------------- Lets Go Canes! _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
