SYNC(1)         DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)         SYNC(1)



NAME
     sync - update the super block

USAGE
     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 flushes all previously unwritten system
     buffers out to disk, thus assuring that all file modifica-
     tions up to that point are saved.

     Note: This command is a no-op in DOMAIN/IX, thus allowing
     the Shell script that calls it to run.
