DESCRIPTION

At the host, communication software buffers most graphics routines for efficient block transfer of data to the IRIS.  gflush delivers all buffered, untransmitted graphics data to the IRIS.  Certain graphics routines (notably those that return values) flush the host buffer when they execute.  Use gflush only on an IRIS terminal.
