Sidewall flashing is flashing that keeps water, that is traveling down a roofline, from going behind the adjacent wall. FBCR04 903.2 states “Flashings shall be installed in such a manner so as to prevent moisture entering the wall and roof through joints in copings, through moisture permeable materials, and at intersections with parapet walls and other penetrations through the roof plane.” The last piece in the line is normally described as "kickout" flashing. Several times a week, I find homes where the flashing terminates behind the wall veneer. This is obviously not a good idea. These pictures were from my inspection yesterday. 
Correct application of kickout flashing, picture thanks to the awesome folks at CodeCheck.com.
View from the top. Water travels down the slope and stops at the stucco veneer.

The smoking gun... Opposite side from inside the attic. The wood crumbles to the touch from the chronic water intrusion.
