mi_integer fd;

fd	is the file descriptor of the file to be written to disk. The file descriptor is obtained by a previous call to mi_file_open().

Valid in Client LIBMI Application?	Valid in User-Defined Routine?
Yes	Yes

The mi_file_sync() function writes to disk all pages of the operating-system file that the fd file descriptor identifies.

This function can access files on the server computer from a C UDR.

The mi_file_sync() interface routine has no effect under Windows NT clients.

The mi_file_sync() function does not throw an MI_Exception event when it encounters a runtime error. Therefore, it does not cause callbacks to be invoked.

See the description of the mi_file_open() function.
