NAME
     sync - update super block

SYNOPSIS
     #include <unistd.h>

     void sync(void);

DESCRIPTION
     sync causes all information in 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 that examine a file system, such as
     fsck(1M), df(1M), etc.  It is mandatory before a re-boot.

     The writing, although scheduled, is not necessarily completed before sync
     returns.  The fsync system call completes the writing before it returns.
