ACK
BTW, are there any plans on enhancing gnulib fsync module to provide a
replacement for certain versions of OS X? Although they provide fsync, it
doesn't really sync anything and one needs to do some ioctl hackery to really
achieve what fsync should do.
Any quick pointers to example code using that ioctl? Then again, I'll
probably find them with a quick google search myself.
Yes, gnulib should be taught to make fsync() more useful on OS X.
