Hi,
just small stuff:
from the ERRORS section of fsync(2):
'EROFS, EINVAL
fd is bound to a special file which does not support
synchronization.
'
Consider adding an example of an file which does not support
synchronization, i.e. a note that doing fsync on a fifo yields EINVAL.
from fifo(7):
'A process can open a FIFO in nonblocking mode. In this case, opening for read
only will succeed even if no-one has opened on the write side yet, opening for
write only will fail with ENXIO (no such device or address) unless the other
end has already been opened.
'
IMHO it would be easier to parse, if 'read only'/'write only' would be
substituted with 'read-only'/'write-only'.
Best regards
Georg
