The -channel must have been opened for writing. -.PP -If the channel is in blocking mode the command does not return until all the -buffered output has been flushed to the channel. If the channel is in -nonblocking mode, the command may return before all buffered output has been -flushed; the remainder will be flushed in the background as fast as the -underlying file or device is able to absorb it. -.SH EXAMPLE -.PP -Prompt for the user to type some information in on the console: -.PP -.CS -puts -nonewline "Please type your name: " -\fBflush\fR stdout -gets stdin name -puts "Hello there, $name!" -.CE -.SH "SEE ALSO" -file(n), open(n), socket(n), Tcl_StandardChannels(3) -.SH KEYWORDS -blocking, buffer, channel, flush, nonblocking, output |
