IEEE/The Open Group                                   2017                                       TCFLUSH(3POSIX)

       Upon  successful completion, tcflush() shall discard data written to the object referred to by fildes (an
       open file descriptor associated with a terminal) but not transmitted, or  data  received  but  not  read,
       depending on the value of queue_selector:

        *  If queue_selector is TCIFLUSH, it shall flush data received but not read.

        *  If queue_selector is TCOFLUSH, it shall flush data written but not transmitted.

        *  If  queue_selector  is TCIOFLUSH, it shall flush both data received but not read and data written but
           not transmitted.

       Attempts to use tcflush() from a process which is a member of a background  process  group  on  a  fildes
       associated  with  its controlling terminal shall cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal.  If
       the calling thread is blocking SIGTTOU signals or the process is ignoring SIGTTOU  signals,  the  process
       shall be allowed to perform the operation, and no signal is sent.

       The tcflush() function shall fail if:

       EBADF  The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.

       EINVAL The queue_selector argument is not a supported value.

       EIO    The process group of the writing process is orphaned, the calling thread is not blocking  SIGTTOU,
              and the process is not ignoring SIGTTOU.

       ENOTTY The file associated with fildes is not a terminal.

       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface

       Upon  successful  completion,  0  shall  be  returned.  Otherwise,  -1 shall be returned and errno set to
       indicate the error.
