💖 GOLF(2gg) — the flush-output page, bestie edition 💖

okay so you opened the GOLF(2gg) manual and landed on this one, and honestly? you're in the right place. this is the page about making your output show up now instead of whenever your program feels like it. let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

flush-output — it's an output thing 💅 (lives in the (output) family, iykyk)

---

🎯 PURPOSE 🎯

Flush output. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 🌸

---

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

flush-output

no arguments, no drama, just vibes ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Use the flush-output statement to flush any pending output. like, everything that's been chilling in the buffer? gone. sent. out into the world 💫

this is lowkey useful when the complete output would take longer to produce and you need intermittent partial output to actually show up. because otherwise you'd be sitting there staring at a blank screen like 😭 where is it???

so: big slow output? flush-output is your girl. periodt 👑

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

ok so in this case the complete output may take at least 20 seconds. twenty. seconds. a whole eternity in group-chat time. but with flush-output, the message "This is partial output" will be flushed out immediately. slay.

@This is partial output
flush-output
sleep(20);
@This is final output

see how the partial message escapes first and the final one comes after the sleep(20);? that's the whole point bestie, the vibe check passed ✅
