cout/printf in nohup.out

[qazmlp]

Is there any possibility that the output given by either of cout/printf
will not be available in nohup.out when I ran like this

$ nohup executable &

Output will be buffered unless the program disables this, so some of the
output won't get to the file until the application completes.

Answer for your question is explicitly contained in nohup(1) man page,
at least in FreeBSD, and in POSIX/SUS description. Read it.
