PHP set_file_buffer() Function
Complete PHP Filesystem Reference
Definition and Usage
The set_file_buffer() function sets the buffer size of an open
file.
Output using fwrite() is normally buffered at 8K. So, if two processes
writes to the same file, each will write up to 8K
before pausing, and allow the other to write. If buffer is 0, write operations are unbuffered
(meaning that the first write process will be completed before allowing other
processes to write).
This function returns 0 on success, otherwise it returns EOF.
