DESCRIPTION
Write 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 char‐
acter at a time in the case of cbreak mode). The file /usr/adm/wtmp is
searched to determine which tty to send to. If the user is logged onto
more than one terminal, the tty argument selects the terminal. Type
CTRL- D to terminate the command. Use ! as a shell escape.
