NAME
bflush - flush a block file
SYNOPSIS
#include <blkio.h>
int bflush(bp)
BLKFILE *bp;
DESCRIPTION
The bflush function causes any buffered data for the block file
associated with BLKFILE pointer bp to be written to the file and
the buffers to be emptied. The header, if it has been modified,
is written out last. The block file remains open. If bp is
open read-only or is not buffered, there will be no data to flush
and bflush will return a value of zero immediately.
bflush should be called immediately before a block file is
unlocked. lockb does this automatically.
bflush will fail if one or more of the following is true:
[EINVAL] bp is not a valid BLKFILE pointer.
[BENOPEN] bp is not open.
SEE ALSO
bexit, bputb, bsync.
DIAGNOSTICS
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise,
a value of -1 is returned, and errno set to indicate the error.
