Don't rely on that, though. fflush() writes pending _output_. Using it
on an input stream has no documented effect.

When it does work, it's a non-standard extension.

GUI applications don't really have keyboard input buffers in the same

looping till it returns 0.

See the API help for PeekMessage.
