+.SH DESCRIPTION
+When dealing with asynchronous operations it is sometimes necessary to
+get into a consistent state. This would mean for AIO that one wants to
+know whether a certain request or a group of request were processed.
+This could be done by waiting for the notification sent by the system
+after the operation terminated, but this sometimes would mean wasting
+resources (mainly computation time).
+.PP
+Calling this function forces all I/O operations operating queued at the
+time of the function call operating on the file descriptor
+.IR "iocb->io_fildes"
+into the synchronized I/O completion state . The
+.IR "io_fsync"
+function returns
+immediately but the notification through the method described in
+.IR "io_callback"
+will happen only after all requests for this
+file descriptor have terminated and the file is synchronized. This also
+means that requests for this very same file descriptor which are queued
+after the synchronization request are not affected.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+Returns 0, otherwise returns errno.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+.I iocbs
+referenced data outside of the program's accessible address space.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I ctx
+refers to an unitialized aio context, the iocb pointed to by
+.I iocbs
+contains an improperly initialized iocb,
+.TP
+.B EBADF
+The iocb contains a file descriptor that does not exist.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The file specified in the iocb does not support the given io operation.
