Action

Write current buffer of File to Card and updates Directory

 

 

Syntax

FLUSH #bFileNumber

FLUSH

 

 

Remarks

 

This function writes all information of an open file, which is not saved yet to the Disk. Normally the Card is updated, if a file will be closed or changed to another sector.

 

When no file number is specified, all open files will be flushed.

Flush does not need additional buffers. You could use FLUSH to be absolutely sure that data is written to the disk. For example in a data log application which is updated infrequently. A power failure could result in a problem when there would be data in the buffer.
