Hm, are you sure? (Is the man page wrong, or is the sync_file_range
implementation wrong?)

DESCRIPTION
       sync_file_range()  permits  fine  control when synchronizing the
       open file referred to by the file descriptor fd with disk.

       offset is the starting byte of the file  range  to  be  synchro-
       nized.   nbytes specifies the length of the range to be synchro-
       nized, in bytes; if nbytes is zero, then all bytes  from  offset
       through to the end of file are synchronized.
