NAME:
write - echo input to existing file.
AUTHOR:
Eric Williams WD6CMU, 71336,1424
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:
OS9/68K, MW C v2.0
SYNTAX:
write <path>
DESCRIPTION:
write is used primarily to write data to named pipes which are
already in existance. It is needed because normal redirection of output
by shell is accomplished by creating the specified file. This causes an
error if the file already exists, as in the case of named pipes. The
specified path is opened for writing and stdin is copied to it.
BUGS:
None.
