.SH DESCRIPTION

.LP
\fBsync\fR executes the \fBsync\fR system primitive. If the system is to be stopped, \fBsync\fR must be called to ensure 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 \fBsync\fR(2) for details.
