!DESCRIPTION
fsync(2) copies all in-core parts of a file to disk, and waits until the device reports that all parts are on stable storage. It also updates metadata stat information. It does not necessarily ensure that the entry in the directory containing the file has also reached disk. For that an explicit fsync(2) on the file descriptor of the directory is also needed.
!!RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and ''errno'' is set appropriately.
