Subject: [patch] sync.1: prevent data loss (reposte of my previous merged
 message)
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 12:45:46 +0100

Hello,

A Debian user reported [1] that sync.1 man page is incomplete unlike sync.2
There is no mention of the unexpected behavior allowed by POSIX, which can
cause data loss.

This patch provides a possible correction.
