The f_sync function flushes the cached information of a writing file.
FRESULT f_sync ( FIL* FileObject /* Pointer to the file object */ );
The f_sync function performs the same process as f_close function but the file is left opened and can continue read/write/seek operations to the file. This is suitable for applications that open files for a long time in writing mode, such as data logger. Performing f_sync of periodic or immediataly after f_write can minimize risk of data loss due to a sudden blackout or an unintentional disk removal. However f_sync immediataly before f_close has no advantage because f_close performs f_sync in it. This function is not available in read-only configuration.
