+.TH WRITE 1 "March 1995" "util-linux" "User Commands"
+.SH NAME
+write \- send a message to another user
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B write
+.I user
+.RI [ ttyname ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B write
+allows you to communicate with other users, by copying lines from
+your terminal to theirs.
+.PP
+When you run the
+.B write
+command, the user you are writing to gets a message of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+Message from yourname@yourhost on yourtty at hh:mm ...
+.RE
+.PP
+Any further lines you enter will be copied to the specified user's
+terminal.  If the other user wants to reply, they must run
+.B write
+as well.
+.PP
+When you are done, type an end-of-file or interrupt character.  The other
+user will see the message
+.B EOF
+indicating that the conversation is over.
+.PP
+You can prevent people (other than the superuser) from writing to you with
+the
+.BR mesg (1)
+command.  Some commands, for example
+.BR nroff (1)
+and
+.BR pr (1),
+may automatically disallow writing, so that the output they produce
+isn't overwritten.
+.PP
+If the user you want to write to is logged in on more than one terminal,
+you can specify which terminal to write to by giving the terminal
+name as the second operand to the
+.B write
+command.  Alternatively, you can let
+.B write
+select one of the terminals \- it will pick the one with the shortest idle
+time.  This is so that if the user is logged in at work and also dialed up
+from home, the message will go to the right place.
+.PP
+The traditional protocol for writing to someone is that the string `\-o',
+either at the end of a line or on a line by itself, means that it's the
+other person's turn to talk.  The string `oo' means that the person
+believes the conversation to be over.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"

+.SH HISTORY
+A
+.B write
+command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+The write command is part of the util-linux package and is available from
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
