- <title>Description</title>
- <para>The <emphasis role="bold">fs flush</emphasis> command removes from the cache all data and status
- information associated with each specified file or directory. The next
- time an application requests data from the flushed directory or file, the
- Cache Manager fetches the most current version from a File Server, along
- with a new callback (if necessary) and associated status information. This
- command has no effect on two types of data:</para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>Data in application program buffers.</para>
-
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>Data that has been changed locally and written to the cache but not yet
- written to the copy on the file server machine.</para>
-
- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- <para>To flush all data in the cache that was fetched from the same volume as a
- specified file or directory, use the <emphasis role="bold">fs flushvolume</emphasis> command. To flush
- a corrupted mount point, use the <emphasis role="bold">fs flushmount</emphasis> command.</para>

- <term><emphasis role="bold">-path</emphasis> <<emphasis>dir/file path</emphasis>>+</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>Names each file or directory to flush from the cache. If it is a
- directory, only the directory element itself is flushed, not data cached
- from files or subdirectories that reside in it. Partial pathnames are
- interpreted relative to the current working directory, which is also the
- default value if this argument is omitted.</para>

- <title>Examples</title>
- <para>The following command flushes from the cache the file <computeroutput>projectnotes</computeroutput> in
- the current working directory and all data from the subdirectory <computeroutput>plans</computeroutput>:</para>
-
-<programlisting>
- % fs flush -path projectnotes ./plans/*
-
-</programlisting>
- </refsect1>
- <refsect1>
- <title>Privilege Required</title>
- <para>The issuer must have the <computeroutput>l</computeroutput> (lookup) permission on the ACL of the root
- directory of the volume that houses the file or directory named by the
- <emphasis role="bold">-path</emphasis> argument, and on the ACL of each directory that precedes it in
- the pathname.</para>
