          +- filedesc -+


DESCRIPTION

The commit command invokes the commit operation on the file descriptors
specified.  This is useful when a shell file calls another shell file,
redirecting output to another file.  If the commit command is not performed in
the shell file being called, some of the output may be lost if the system goes
down.

The files are specified as file descriptors.  STDIN or stdin may be used for
standard input, STDOUT or stdout may be used for standard output, and STDERR or
stderr may be used for standard error.  If no files are specified, commits are
performed on stdout and stderr.
