"[+NAME?sync - schedule file system updates]"
"[+DESCRIPTION?\bsync\b calls \bsync\b(2), which causes all information "
    "in memory that updates file systems to be scheduled for writing out to "
    "all file systems. The writing, although scheduled, is not necessarily "
    "complete upon return from \bsync\b.]"
"[+?Since \bsync\b(2) has no failure indication, \bsync\b only fails for "
    "option/operand syntax errors, or when \bsync\b(2) does not return, in "
    "which case \bsync\b also does not return.]"
"[+?At minimum \bsync\b should be called before halting the system. Most "
    "systems provide graceful shutdown procedures that include \bsync\b -- "
    "use them if possible.]"
"[+EXIT STATUS?]"
    "{"
        "[+0?\bsync\b(2) returned.]"
        "[+>0?Option/operand syntax error.]"
