Function Saves buffered data to a file.
TSP-Link
accessibility
This function can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage io.flush()
Remarks • It is important to note that you must use the io.flush or io.close() commands to write data
to the file system.
• Note: Data is not automatically written to a file when you use the io.write function.
• The io.write function will buffer data and it may not be written to the USB drive immediately
while io:flush forces any buffered data to be written to the drive.
• This function only flushes the default output file.
Also see file:write, io.write
