NAME
sync - update super-block
SYNOPSIS
sync( )
DESCRIPTION
Sync
causes all information in core
memory that should be on disk to be written out.
This includes modified super blocks,
modified i-nodes, and delayed block I/O.
It should be used by programs which examine a file system,
for example
icheck, df,
etc.
It is mandatory before a boot.
SEE ALSO
sync(1), update(8)
BUGS
The writing, although scheduled, is not necessarily
complete upon return from
sync.
