TCFLUSH(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual TCFLUSH(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
tcflush — flush non-transmitted output data, non-read input data, or
both
#include <termios.h>
int tcflush(int fildes, int queue_selector);
Upon successful completion, tcflush() shall discard data written to
the object referred to by fildes (an open file descriptor associated
with a terminal) but not transmitted, or data received but not read,
depending on the value of queue_selector:
* If queue_selector is TCIFLUSH, it shall flush data received but
not read.
* If queue_selector is TCOFLUSH, it shall flush data written but
not transmitted.
* If queue_selector is TCIOFLUSH, it shall flush both data received
but not read and data written but not transmitted.
Attempts to use tcflush() from a process which is a member of a
background process group on a fildes associated with its controlling
terminal shall cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal.
If the calling thread is blocking SIGTTOU signals or the process is
ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process shall be allowed to perform the
operation, and no signal is sent.
Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, −1 shall
be returned and errno set to indicate the error.
The tcflush() function shall fail if:
EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.
EINVAL The queue_selector argument is not a supported value.
EIO The process group of the writing process is orphaned, the
calling thread is not blocking SIGTTOU, and the process is not
ignoring SIGTTOU.
ENOTTY The file associated with fildes is not a terminal.
