Method: IO#fsync

Defined in:
io.c

#fsync ⇒ 0

Immediately writes to disk all data buffered in the stream, via the operating system’s fsync(2).

Note this difference:

  • IO#sync=: Ensures that data is flushed from the stream’s internal buffers, but does not guarantee that the operating system actually writes the data to disk.

  • IO#fsync: Ensures both that data is flushed from internal buffers, and that data is written to disk.

Raises an exception if the operating system does not support fsync(2).

Returns:

  • (0)
