sync(1M)                                                    sync(1M)


       NAME
             sync - update the super block

       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.
