Subject: Stuff about sync()
Precedence: bulk

1. sync() seems to be poorly documented. The docs just say it's to assist
porting Unix programs and always returns zero. It doesn't say that it calls
fsync() for every open file, which it does.
2. IMHO, sync() should call _flush_disk_cache() in order to be closer to its
Unix behavior.
