+"[+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.]"
