In IO::Handle§

See primary documentation in context for method out-buffer

method out-buffer(--> Int:Dis rw

Controls output buffering and can be set via an argument to open. Takes an int as the size of the buffer to use (zero is acceptable). Can take a Bool: True means to use default, implementation-defined buffer size; False means to disable buffering (equivalent to using 0 as buffer size).

Lastly, can take a Nil to enable TTY-based buffering control: if the handle is a TTY, the buffering is disabled, otherwise, default, implementation-defined buffer size is used.

See flush to write out data currently in the buffer. Changing buffer size flushes the filehandle.
