SYNC(S)                  XENIX System V                   SYNC(S)



     Name
          sync - Updates the super-block.

     Syntax
          void sync ( )

     Description
          sync causes all information in memory that should be on disk
          to be written out.  This includes modified super-blocks,
          modified inodes, and delayed block I/O.

          It should be used by programs which examine a file system,
          for example fsck, df, etc.

          The writing, although scheduled, is not necessarily complete
          upon return from sync.
