The Ultrix 2.0 manual says that if fflush is called for a file which is not open for output, then EOF is returned. This is true. The SUN manual says the same thing. It is wrong. In fact, the SUN fflush will flush an input file. What do other flavors of Unix say and do? What is the correct way to flush an input file? (It's actually the last question that I need an answer to.)
