  • Clarify that sync_all also writes data and not just metadata.
  • Clarify that dropping a file is not equivalent to calling sync_all and ignoring the result. sync_all the still the recommended way to detect errors before closing, because we don't have a dedicated method for that.
  • Add a link from sync_all to sync_data, because that's what the user might want to use instead.
  • Add doc aliases for fsync -> sync_all and fdatasync -> sync_data. Those are the POSIX standard names for these functions. I was trying to find out what we call fsync in Rust and had to search through the source code to find it, so this alias should help with that in the future.
