Null flush is an option (-z) to most Apertium programs (and programs compatible with Apertium stream format) that flushes the output buffer upon receiving the \0 character instead of on end-of-file. This allows programs which call Apertium externally to keep a translator online, meaning they can avoid startup time for every translation.
