Flushing a buffer

Flushing a buffer

[Brian]

How can I flush an output buffer in guile?  Is there something like
(flush-output-port ...)???

Thanks,
Brian

There's force-output, described in the `Input and Output' section of
the Guile reference-manual (at least, in manual that I got with 1.5.4).

primitive: force-output [port]
    Flush the specified output port, or the current output port if port
    is omitted. The current output buffer contents are passed to the
    underlying port implementation (e.g., in the case of fports, the
    data will be written to the file and the output buffer will be
    cleared.) It has no effect on an unbuffered port.
