.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIWrite\fR lets a user send messages to another logged-in user.
|
|
Lines typed by the user appear on the other user's screen a line at a time
|
|
(a character at a time in the case of cbreak mode).
|
|
The file \fI/usr/adm/wtmp\fR is searched to determine which tty to send to.
|
|
If the user is logged onto more than one terminal, the \fItty\fR argument
|
|
selects the terminal. Type CTRL- D to terminate the command.
|
|
Use ! as a shell escape.
