DESCRIPTION

13       sync  executes  the  sync  system  primitive.  If  the  system is to be
14       stopped, sync must be called to ensure file system integrity.  It  will
15       flush  all previously unwritten system buffers out to disk, thus assur‐
16       ing that all file modifications up to that point  will  be  saved.  See
17       sync(2) for details.
