flush
(foldoc) | flush
To delete something, usually superfluous, or to abort
an operation.
"Flush" was standard ITS terminology for aborting an output
operation. One spoke of the text that would have been
printed, but was not, as having been flushed. It is
speculated that this term arose from a vivid image of flushing
unwanted characters by hosing down the internal output buffer,
washing the characters away before they could be printed.
Compare drain.
2. To force temporarily buffered data to be written to more
permanent memory. E.g. flushing buffered disk writes to disk,
as with C's standard I/O library "fflush(3)" call. This
sense was in use among BLISS programmers at DEC and on
Honeywell and IBM machines as far back as 1965. Another
example of this usage is flushing a cache on a {context
switch} where modified data stored in the cace which belongs
to one processes must be written out to main memory so that
the cache can be used by another process.

flush
(jargon) | flush
v.
1. [common] To delete something, usually superfluous, or to abort an
operation. “All that nonsense has been flushed.”
2. [Unix/C] To force buffered I/O to disk, as with an fflush(3) call. This
is not an abort or deletion as in sense 1, but a demand for early
completion!
3. To leave at the end of a day's work (as opposed to leaving for a meal).
“I'm going to flush now.” “Time to flush.”
4. To exclude someone from an activity, or to ignore a person.
‘Flush’ was standard ITS terminology for aborting an output operation; one
spoke of the text that would have been printed, but was not, as having been
flushed. It is speculated that this term arose from a vivid image of
flushing unwanted characters by hosing down the internal output buffer,
washing the characters away before they could be printed. The Unix/C usage,
on the other hand, was propagated by the fflush(3) call in C's standard I/O
library (though it is reported to have been in use among BLISS programmers
at DEC and on Honeywell and IBM machines as far back as 1965). Unix/C
hackers found the ITS usage confusing, and vice versa.
