Defined in header `<stdio.h>` |  |
int fflush( FILE *stream ); |  |

Causes the output file stream to be synchronized with the actual contents of the file.

The behavior is undefined if the given stream is of the input type or if the given stream is of the update type, but the last I/O operation was not an output operation.

If `stream` is NULL, all open streams are flushed.

### [edit] Parameters
