NAME
      sync - update the super block
 
SYNOPSIS
      sync
 
DESCRIPTION
      sync executes the sync system primitive. If the system is to
      be  stopped,  sync  must  be  called  to  insure file system
      integrity. It will flush  all  previously  unwritten  system
      buffers  out  to disk, thus assuring that all file modifica-
      tions up to that  point  will  be  saved.  See  sync(2)  for
      details.
