FLUSH FPT OUTPUT

Syntax:

[DO NOT] FLUSH [FPT] OUTPUT

Function:

This command directs fpt to flush the output buffers after every line written to each output file. It is used to investigate cases where fpt crashes, or produces unexpected output. It is hoped that users will never need to use it.

Note that there is a performance penalty in flushing the output buffers. Output to the user's screen is flushed by default.
