+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sync
+.Nd force completion of pending disk writes (flush cache)
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+program can be called to ensure that all disk writes have been
+completed before the processor is halted in a way not suitably done by
+.Xr reboot 8
+or
+.Xr halt 8 .
+Generally, it is preferable to use
+.Xr reboot 8
+or
+.Xr halt 8
+to shut down the system,
+as they may perform additional actions
+such as resynchronizing the hardware clock
+and flushing internal caches before performing a final
+.Nm .
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+program simply invokes the
+.Xr sync 2
+system call.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr fsync 2 ,
+.Xr sync 2 ,
+.Xr halt 8 ,
+.Xr reboot 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+A
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.At v4 .
