std::basic_filebuf::sync

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | io‎ | basic filebuf
protected:
virtual int sync()

If a put area exists (e.g. the file was opened for writing), calls overflow() to write all pending output to the file, then flushes the file as if by calling std::fflush.

If a get area exists (e.g. the file was opened for reading), the effect is implementation-defined. Typical implementation may empty out the get area and move the current file position back by the corresponding number of bytes.
