If the .Fa sync argument is zero, writes to the disk will be asynchronous and .Fn vflushbuf returns immediately; otherwise, writes will be synchronous and all disk blocks associated with the vnode will have been properly synchronized with the in-core buffers upon return. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr vinvalbuf 9 , .Xr vnode 9 .Sh HISTORY This document first appeared in .Ox 3.7 .
