flush
     
        1. 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.
     
        2. To force temporarily buffered data to be written to more
        permanent memory.  E.g. flushing buffered disk I/O 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.
