# PetscSynchronizedFlush
Flushes to the screen output from all processors involved in previous `PetscSynchronizedPrintf()`/`PetscSynchronizedFPrintf()` calls.
## Synopsis
```
PetscErrorCode PetscSynchronizedFlush(MPI_Comm comm, FILE *fd)
```
Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***comm -*** the MPI communicator
- ***fd -*** the file pointer (valid on MPI rank 0 of the communicator)
## Note
If `PetscSynchronizedPrintf()` and/or `PetscSynchronizedFPrintf()` are called with
different MPI communicators there must be an intervening call to `PetscSynchronizedFlush()` between the calls with different MPI communicators.
## Fortran Note
Pass `PETSC_STDOUT` if the flush is for standard out; otherwise pass a value obtained from `PetscFOpen()`
