+Output buffers are flushed by normal program exit (via exit() or
+via return from main()), and, in the proposed C standard, by
+`fflush((FILE *)NULL);'.  Some output buffers (those that are
+`associated with terminals') are flushed by some kinds of input.

And don't forget the the buffers are also flushed by fclose() .
