[Clas_offline] C function to force flushing of BOS buffer?

[Zhiwen Zhao]

Sure you can
Here the 7 is an arbitrary number as a handler
But I am not sure if "0" is the right way
I always use "E" instead
After tracking it down through a series of functions, I found its 
definition is in bosio/bosread.c
There're possible options, like C,E,R,S,T
Can someone enlighten me what they mean?
Thanks

Zhiwen
