36 .Nd flush file system buffers for a file
41 .Fn VOP_FSYNC "struct vnode *vp" "int waitfor" "struct thread *td"
43 This call flushes any dirty file system buffers for the file.
44 It is used to implement the
51 .Bl -tag -width waitfor
53 The vnode of the file.
55 Whether the function should wait for I/O to complete.
57 .Bl -tag -width MNT_NOWAIT
59 Synchronously wait for I/O to complete.
61 Start all I/O, but do not wait for it.
63 Push data not written by file system syncer.
75 and specifies whether or not the function should wait for the writes
76 to finish before returning.
78 The file should be locked on entry.
80 Zero is returned if the call is successful, otherwise an appropriate
81 error code is returned.
