/* NAME
/*	write_buf 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	write buffer or bust
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <iostuff.h>
/*
/*	ssize_t	write_buf(fd, buf, len, timeout)
/*	int	fd;
/*	const char *buf;
/*	ssize_t	len;
/*	int	timeout;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	write_buf() writes a buffer to the named stream in as many
/*	fragments as needed, and returns the number of bytes written,
/*	which is always the number requested or an error indication.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP fd
/*	File descriptor in the range 0..FD_SETSIZE.
/* .IP buf
/*	Address of data to be written.
/* .IP len
/*	Amount of data to be written.
/* .IP timeout
/*	Bounds the time in seconds to wait until \fIfd\fD becomes writable.
/*	A value <= 0 means do not wait; this is useful only when \fIfd\fR
/*	uses blocking I/O.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	write_buf() returns -1 in case of trouble. The global \fIerrno\fR
/*	variable reflects the nature of the problem.
/* LICENSE
