std::basic_filebuf::sync(3)

NAME
std::basic_filebuf::sync - std::basic_filebuf::sync

Synopsis
   protected:
   virtual int sync()
   If a put area exists (e.g. the file was opened for writing), calls overflow() to
   write all pending output to the file, then flushes the file as if by calling
   std::fflush.
   If a get area exists (e.g. the file was opened for reading), the effect is
   implementation-defined. Typical implementation may empty out the get area and move
   the current file position back by the corresponding number of bytes.

Parameters
   (none)

Return value
   0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

Notes
   sync() or its equivalent is implicitly called for output streams by close(),
   seekoff(), and seekpos() and explicitly called by std::basic_streambuf::pubsync()
