+
+ <para><function>write()</function> writes up to
+<parameter>count</parameter> bytes to the device referenced by the
+file descriptor <parameter>fd</parameter> from the buffer starting at
+<parameter>buf</parameter>. When the hardware outputs are not active
+yet, this function enables them. When <parameter>count</parameter> is
+zero, <function>write()</function> returns
+<returnvalue>0</returnvalue> without any other effect.</para>
+
+ <para>When the application does not provide more data in time, the
+previous video frame, raw VBI image, sliced VPS or WSS data is
+displayed again. Sliced Teletext or Closed Caption data is not
+repeated, the driver inserts a blank line instead.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, the number of bytes written are returned. Zero
+indicates nothing was written. On error, <returnvalue>-1</returnvalue>
+is returned, and the <varname>errno</varname> variable is set
+appropriately. In this case the next write will start at the beginning
+of a new frame. Possible error codes are:</para>
