NAME
       write - send a message to a logged-in user

SYNOPSIS
       write [-cv] user [tty]

OPTIONS
       -c   # Use cbreak mode

       -v   # Verbose mode

EXAMPLES
       write ast	   # Send a message to ast

       write ast tty00	   # Send a message to ast on tty00

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.
