Also the standard says you can pass NULL to fflush to flush all open
streams.

Indeed, which is another reason that there is no such thing as *the*
correct argument to fflush.

Q: Which is the integer?
A: 23
B: 52.3
C: 22.1
D: -99.1

Obviously 23 is the integer.

It's not the only integer in the universe,
but it's the integer in the list following. That's how English works.

Point taken. Now, which is the correct argument to fflush?

a) stdout
b) stdin
c) stderr
d) All the above
