HELP SYSWRITE Revised by Fran Evelyn, July 85
syswrite(<device>,<string>,<no. of bytes>);
or
syswrite(<device>,<byte>,<string>,<no. of bytes>);
SYSWRITE writes a specified number of bytes (stored in <string>) to a
specified <device>. If the second argument is an integer, the write operation
will start at the byte with that address; if this argument is absent, it will
start at byte 1.
If an error occurs while writing to a disk or tape device, the procedure
POP_FILE_WRITE_ERROR is invoked to take appropriate action (for example,
delete the partially-written file).
See:
REF *SYSIO - I/O procedures and further info on POP_FILE_WRITE_ERROR
HELP *SYSREAD - reads from a specified device
HELP *SYSOPEN - returns a device record for an existing disc file
HELP *SYSCREATE - creates a disc file and returns a device record for the
file
HELP *SYSTRMDEV - tests whether a device record refers to a terminal
