Database Synchronization
************************
Unless your database was opened with the GDBM_SYNC flag, `gdbm' does
not wait for writes to be flushed to the disk before continuing. This
allows faster writing of databases at the risk of having a corrupted
database if the application terminates in an abnormal fashion. The
following function allows the programmer to make sure the disk version
of the database has been completely updated with all changes to the
current time.
gdbm_sync(dbf);
The parameter is:
GDBM_FILE dbf
The pointer returned by `gdbm_open'.
This would usually be called after a complete set of changes have
been made to the database and before some long waiting time.
`gdbm_close' automatically calls the equivalent of `gdbm_sync' so no
call is needed if the database is to be closed immediately after the
set of changes have been made.
