Synchronize the contents of the specified `numBytes` of mapped memory beginning at the specified `address` with the underlying file on disk. If the specified `syncFlag` is true, block until all writes to nonvolatile media have actually completed, otherwise, return once they have been scheduled. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value otherwise. The behavior is undefined unless `address` is aligned on a page boundary, `numBytes` is a multiple of `pageSize()`, and `0 <= numBytes`.
