Calling (newline)
appends a newline to the output stream but does not flush it *flush-on-newline*
is bound to true
(the default).
Instead, only clojure.core/prn
mentions *flush-on-newline*
in its docstring and the check and (flush)
call is explicit there.
Why is this?
Also, println
does not mention that it Observes *flush-on-newline*
like prn
does, and it doesn't hint that it calls prn
which does, since it says Same as print followed by (newline)
which isn't actually true.
