NAME
write - send a message to a logged-in user
SYNOPSIS
write [-cv] user [tty]
OPTIONS

-v Verbose mode

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 character 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.
