! Force write of file with filedescriptor \var{fd} to disk.
  
! On Windows this calls the MS \cfunction{_commit()} function.  If you're
! starting with a Python file object \var{f}, first do
  \code{\var{f}.flush()}, and then do \code{os.fsync(\var{f}.fileno()},
  to ensure that all internal buffers associated with \var{f} are written
  to disk.
