Does Linux Shell execute fflush(stdout) first before executing and writing the result of the command passed by the user?

Let's say that I want to know my current working directory, so I type pwd in the prompt and press Enter.

Before getting my current working directory path, does the Linux Shell execute fflush(stdout) FIRST, and then do its stuff to return the path?

If so, why?

There is no "Linux Shell". The default shell on many Linux distributions is Bash, but this is by no means universal. – tripleee Nov 29 '21 at 09:00
Do you type that fast? – KamilCuk Nov 29 '21 at 10:30
