COMMIT(1t,C) AIX Commands Reference COMMIT(1t,C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- commit PURPOSE Commits a file within a shell procedure. SYNTAX +------------+ commit ---| |---| +- filedesc -+ DESCRIPTION The commit command invokes the commit operation on the file descriptors specified. This is useful when a shell file calls another shell file, redirecting output to another file. If the commit command is not performed in the shell file being called, some of the output may be lost if the system goes down. The files are specified as file descriptors. STDIN or stdin may be used for standard input, STDOUT or stdout may be used for standard output, and STDERR or stderr may be used for standard error. If no files are specified, commits are performed on stdout and stderr. RELATED INFORMATION See fsync, fcommit in AIX Operating System Technical Reference. Processed November 8, 1990 COMMIT(1t,C) 1
