NAME
       sync, fsync - update dirty buffers and super-block

SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>

       int sync(void)
       int fsync(fd)

DESCRIPTION
       Sync  causes  all information in the file system buffers that should be
       on disk to be written out.  This includes modified super blocks,	 modi‐
       fied  i-nodes,  and  delayed block I/O.	Fsync does the same thing, but
       only for the blocks associated with a specific file  descriptor.	 Under
       minix, currently the two calls do the same thing.

SEE ALSO
       reboot(2), sync(8).
