Hello Alex,

fpurge(i_stream) does the same as fflush(i_stream), AFAIK.
I don''t think so. fflush() of an output stream forces
a write() of data to the kernel. fpurge() discards the data,
as I understand things.
Yes, for output streams they're different.
I meant
f.....(i[nput]_stream);
which I believe to be the same thing.
But I still think the patch is useful. fflush(3)
and fpurge(3) serve related purposes.
Patch applied.
Thanks,
Alex
