Writing to output without buffering in Julia

Question

What is the way to print data on standard output without buffering? println buffers data and writes them all together.

Equivalently a command to empty the print buffer would be useful.

It would be great if there was an option (command line flag?) to disable output buffering entirely, without having to add flush commands through an entire program. — Time4Tea, Mar 07 '23 at 13:33

flush is the command to empty the print buffer for a given stream: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/io-network/#Base.flush

This one works: https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/stdlib/io-network/#Base.flush – Robert Schwarz Jun 25 '18 at 19:44
