flush stream-name
When working with buffered
stream
s, you may need to force OmniMark to send the output to its
destination before you are ready to close
the stream
. To do this, use flush
.
Any open stream
can be flushed, including the built-in output streams #error
,
#process-output
, and #main-output
.
If you find that you are having to continually flush
a stream
, you can declare that stream to
be unbuffered
using unbuffered
.
Note that flushing a stream
that has referents-allowed
does not immediately resolve the
referents
and output the stream
contents. When a stream
containing referents
is
flushed, the contents of that stream
are sent immediately to the referent
resolution area until
the referents
are resolved in the normal fashion. flush
does not provide a method for
forcing early referent
resolution.
Flushing a stream is not an error if the stream is unbuffered; it simply has no effect. It is an error,
however, to flush a stream that is not open
.
