        SYNTAX

        void   sync  ( )

        DESCRIPTION

        Sync causes file system information in memory to be written on
        the disk.

        Activity may continue on the file system device while the sync is
        being performed, but there are no guarantees about whether
        changes to files or file system data that occur after sync starts
        get to disk.  Upon return from sync, there is no guarantee that
        all writes to the disk have completed.


        ACCESS CONTROL

        None.


        RETURN VALUE

        None.


        EXCEPTIONS

        None.
