<h4>Description</h4>
<p>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 the applications that open files for a long time in write mode, such as data logger. Performing f_sync of periodic or immediataly after f_write can minimize the 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. In other words, the differnce between those functions is that the file object is invalidated or not. </p>
