                     15: at the current write position, as  set by the last call to either
                     16: write or lseek.  write  advances the position of the file pointer

                     32: pointer.  Otherwise, it  returns the number of bytes written.  It
                     33: should be considered  an error if this number is  not the same as
                     34: n.

                     37: 
                     38: write is a low-level  call that passes data directly to COHERENT.
                     39: It  should not  be mixed  with high-level  calls, such  as fread,
                     40: fwrite, or fopen.
