{title:Title}

{p 4 4 2}
{bf:[M-5] displayflush() -- Flush terminal-output buffer}


{title:Syntax}

{p 8 12 2}
{it:void}
{cmd:displayflush()}


{title:Description}

{p 4 4 2}
To achieve better performance, Stata buffers terminal output, so, 
within a program, output may not appear when a {cmd:display()} or 
{cmd:printf()} command is executed.  The output might be held in a buffer
and displayed later.

{p 4 4 2}
{cmd:displayflush()} forces Stata to display all pending output at the 
terminal.  {cmd:displayflush()} is rarely used.


{title:Remarks}

{p 4 4 2}
See {bf:{help mf_printf:[M-5] printf()}} for an example of the use of 
{cmd:displayflush()}.

{p 4 4 2}
Use of {cmd:displayflush()} slows execution.  Use {cmd:displayflush()} 
only when it is important that output be displayed at the terminal 
now, such as when providing messages indicating what your program is 
doing.
