This is suitable for the applications that open files for a long time in write mode, such as data logger. Performing <tt>f_sync()</tt> function of periodic or immediataly after <tt>f_write()</tt> function can minimize the risk of data loss due to a sudden blackout or an unintentional media removal. For more information, refer to <a href="appnote.html#critical">application note</a>.</p><p>However there is no sense in <tt>f_sync()</tt> function immediataly before <tt>f_close()</tt> function because it performs <tt>f_sync()</tt> function in it. In other words, the differnce between those functions is that the file object is invalidated or not.</p></div><div class="para comp"><h4>QuickInfo</h4><p>Available when <tt>_FS_READONLY == 0</tt>.</p></div><div class="para ref"><h4>See Also</h4><p><tt><a href="close.html">f_close</a></tt></p></div><p class="foot"><a href="../00index_e.html">Return</a></p></body></html>
