        This call is intended to force the datasource to flush any pending
        writes to disk, and leave the disk file in a consistent state. It
        would not normally have any effect on read-only datasources.

        Some data sources do not implement this method, and will still return

        attempting to flush to disk.

        The default implementation of this method just calls the SyncToDisk()
        method on each of the layers. Conceptionally, calling SyncToDisk() on
        a datasource should include any work that might be accomplished by
        calling SyncToDisk() on layers in that data source.

        be returned. This can result in more shapes being returned that should

        This method allows positioning of a layer such that the
        GetNextFeature() call will read the requested feature, where nIndex is
        an absolute index into the current result set. So, setting it to 3
        would mean the next feature read with GetNextFeature() would have been
        the 4th feature to have been read if sequential reading took place
        from the beginning of the layer, including accounting for spatial and
        attribute filters.

        Only in rare circumstances is SetNextByIndex() efficiently
        implemented. In all other cases the default implementation which calls
        ResetReading() and then calls GetNextFeature() nIndex times is used.
        To determine if fast seeking is available on the current layer use the
        TestCapability() method with a value of OLCFastSetNextByIndex.
