log.flushFlushes the log file for a specified window |
Syntax |
|
Description |
Flushes the log file the current window or in the window specified by the -w switch. If logging is not enabled in the specified window, this command does nothing. If this command is never used, the log file is flushed at regulear file-size intervals, depending on the underlying IO subsystem. This is usually 4KB. The "block flushing" is used to achieve a fast I/O on files, but may cause the last data block to be lost in case of a program crash. |
