printf除非换行符在格式字符串中,为什么在调用后不刷新？这是POSIX的行为吗？我怎么可能printf每次都立即冲洗？

朋友给我发了个程序:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void chain(int n, int current_nr) {
    printf("Running %d\n", current_nr);

    pid_t pid = fork();

    if (pid != 0) { //parent
        return; 
    }
    else { //child
        if (current_nr == n - 2) {
            return;
        }
        else {
            chain(n, current_nr + 1);
        }
    }
}

int main(void) {
    puts("Program started");

    chain(5, 0);

    wait(NULL);

    return 0;
}

如果程序以./program形式执行,则输出为:

Program started
Running 0
Running 1
Running 2
Running 3

但在执行./program> outputfile之后,输出文件内容为:

Program started
Running 0
Running …
