View Ref-File11.5.16.31.3  xfs_sync                                             TOS

 Name:        »xfs_sync« - Synchronize the filesystem.

 Parameters:

               a0 =  DMD *d
               ->    long errcode

 Description: The kernel notifies the XFS that on drive d all the 
              buffers have been written back. Passed in register a0 is 
              a pointer to a DMD (drive medium descriptor). This is 
              created by the kernel.

              The return value will be an error-code. If the DFS does 
              not manage the buffer (e.g. a RAMdisk), then a 0 has to 
              be returned. The internal DOS_XFS simply calls the DFS 
              function with the same name.

 Group:       Make-up of an XFS
