<h4><a name="tag_03_763_01"></a>NAME</h4>
<blockquote>tcflush - flush non-transmitted output data, non-read input data, or both</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_763_02"></a>SYNOPSIS</h4>
<blockquote class="synopsis">
<p><code><tt>#include &lt;<a href="../basedefs/termios.h.html">termios.h</a>&gt;<br>
<br>
int tcflush(int</tt> <i>fildes</i><tt>, int</tt> <i>queue_selector</i><tt>);<br>
</tt></code></p>

<h4><a name="tag_03_763_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Upon successful completion, <i>tcflush</i>() shall discard data written to the object referred to by <i>fildes</i> (an open file
descriptor associated with a terminal) but not transmitted, or data received but not read, depending on the value of
<i>queue_selector</i>:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If <i>queue_selector</i> is TCIFLUSH, it shall flush data received but not read.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If <i>queue_selector</i> is TCOFLUSH, it shall flush data written but not transmitted.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If <i>queue_selector</i> is TCIOFLUSH, it shall flush both data received but not read and data written but not transmitted.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Attempts to use <i>tcflush</i>() from a process which is a member of a background process group on a <i>fildes</i> associated
with its controlling terminal shall cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal. If the calling process is blocking or
ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process shall be allowed to perform the operation, and no signal is sent.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_763_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, -1 shall be returned and <i>errno</i> set to indicate the error.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_763_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>tcflush</i>() function shall fail if:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>[EBADF]</dt>
<dd>The <i>fildes</i> argument is not a valid file descriptor.</dd>
<dt>[EINVAL]</dt>
<dd>The <i>queue_selector</i> argument is not a supported value.</dd>
<dt>[ENOTTY]</dt>
<dd>The file associated with <i>fildes</i> is not a terminal.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The <i>tcflush</i>() function may fail if:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>[EIO]</dt>
<dd>The process group of the writing process is orphaned, and the writing process is not ignoring or blocking SIGTTOU.</dd>
</dl>

<h4><a name="tag_03_763_11"></a>CHANGE HISTORY</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>First released in Issue 3. Included for alignment with the POSIX.1-1988 standard.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_763_12"></a>Issue 6</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The Open Group Corrigendum U035/1 is applied. In the ERRORS and APPLICATION USAGE sections, references to <a href=
"../functions/tcflow.html"><i>tcflow</i>()</a> are replaced with <i>tcflush</i>().</p>
<p>The following new requirements on POSIX implementations derive from alignment with the Single UNIX Specification:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>In the DESCRIPTION, the final paragraph is no longer conditional on _POSIX_JOB_CONTROL. This is a FIPS requirement.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The [EIO] error is added.</p>
</li>
</ul>
