Synopsis
sync
Description
sync
executes the
sync
system primitive.
If the system is to be stopped,
sync
must be called to insure
file system integrity.
It will flush all previously unwritten system buffers out to disk,
thus assuring that all file modifications up to that point will be
saved.
See
sync(2)
for details.
