fsync() or fdatasync() should do what you want here. Although you

It's been awhile since I played concurrently with descriptors and

Okay... I had just made the assumption that all the descriptors would

On the contrary, dup() just gives you another handle to the same open

To get independence, you have to open the file again.

Just to reinforce the concept one more time (at the risk of beating a

flushed; *streams* have buffers and need to be flushed; closing a stream
also flushes it.

Except the close-on-exec flag isn't shared. And closing one dup'd file

fflush()/close() is a no-no -- you want fclose() instead. Once you've
attached a stream to a file descriptor, you have to be very careful
about what you do to the file descriptor --

I tired fsync() and sync() originally and they didn't work. I just

Of course, yes. Doh!
