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.
But I still think the patch is useful. fflush(3)
and fpurge(3) serve related purposes.
Patch applied.
Thanks,
Michael

Yes, for output streams they're different.
I meant
f.....(i[nput]_stream);
which I believe to be the same thing.

Hi Michael,
This is the first of many separate patches that I had pending for you.
Some of them I already sent you, and you should ignore the old versions.
Some of them are new.
Please review them thoroughly, as I may have sent some patch that wasn't
ready. In theory I have reviewed them enough, but there are a lot, and
I might have overlooked something.
When you review this "set", I'll send you another one about the SYNOPSIS.
Thanks,
Alex

Some I looked at more closely. Others (e.g., patches to the scripts),
I've taken on trust.

Okay.
