I can't help you with the device problem. However, if you do a:
man fflush
You will get a manual page of the fflush C function for the particular
UNIX or UNIX-like system you are using, presumably and hopefully Debian
Linux since you posted to this Debian mailing list. In general, all
available C routines have man pages.
Here is some of the output from the above man page:
FFLUSH(3) Linux Programmer's Manual FFLUSH(3)
NAME
fflush - flush a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int fflush(FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
.... see the man page :-)
Good luck.
