Whenever a line of input as +delimited by an NL, EOF, or EOL special character (see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "Chapter 11" ", " "General Terminal Interface") +is accumulated while in canonical input mode, the accumulated data shall +be written on the other user's terminal. Characters shall be processed +as follows: +.IP " *" 4 +Typing +<alert> +shall write the +<alert> +character to the recipient's terminal. +.IP " *" 4 +Typing the erase and kill characters shall affect the sender's terminal +in the manner described by the +.BR termios +interface in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "Chapter 11" ", " "General Terminal Interface". +.IP " *" 4 +Typing the interrupt or end-of-file characters shall cause +.IR write +to write an appropriate message (\c +.BR \(dqEOT\en\(dq +in the POSIX locale) to the recipient's terminal and exit. +.IP " *" 4 +Typing characters from +.IR LC_CTYPE +classifications +.BR print +or +.BR space +shall cause those characters to be sent to the recipient's terminal. +.IP " *" 4 +When and only when the +.IR stty +.BR iexten +local mode is enabled, the existence and processing of additional +special control characters and multi-byte or single-byte functions is +implementation-defined. +.IP " *" 4 +Typing other non-printable characters shall cause +implementation-defined sequences of printable characters to be +written to the recipient's terminal. +.P +To write to a user who is logged in more than once, the +.IR terminal +argument can be used to indicate which terminal to write to; otherwise, +the recipient's terminal is selected in an implementation-defined +manner and an informational message is written to the sender's standard +output, indicating which terminal was chosen. +.P +Permission to be a recipient of a +.IR write +message can be denied or granted by use of the +.IR mesg +utility. However, a user's privilege may further constrain the domain +of accessibility of other users' terminals. The +.IR write +utility shall fail when the user lacks appropriate privileges to +perform the requested action. +.SH OPTIONS +None. +.SH OPERANDS +.br +The following operands shall be supported: +.IP "\fIuser_name\fR" 10 +Login name of the person to whom the message shall be written. The +application shall ensure that this operand is of the form returned by +the +.IR who +utility. +.IP "\fIterminal\fR" 10 +Terminal identification in the same format provided by the +.IR who +utility. +.SH STDIN +Lines to be copied to the recipient's terminal are read from standard +input. +.SH "INPUT FILES" +None. +.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" +The following environment variables shall affect the execution of +.IR write : +.IP "\fILANG\fP" 10 +Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are +unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables" +for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine +the values of locale categories.) +.IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10 +If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the +other internationalization variables. +.IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10 +Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of +text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to +multi-byte characters in arguments and input files). If the +recipient's locale does not use an +.IR LC_CTYPE +equivalent to the sender's, the results are undefined. +.IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10 +.br +Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and +contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error and +informative messages written to standard output. +.IP "\fINLSPATH\fP" 10 +Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of +.IR LC_MESSAGES . +.SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS" +If an interrupt signal is received, +.IR write +shall write an appropriate message on the recipient's terminal and +exit with a status of zero. It shall take the standard action for all +other signals. +.SH STDOUT +An informational message shall be written to standard output if a +recipient is logged in more than once. +.SH STDERR +The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages. +.SH "OUTPUT FILES" +The recipient's terminal is used for output. +.SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION" +None. +.SH "EXIT STATUS" +The following exit values shall be returned: +.IP "\00" 6 +Successful completion. +.IP >0 6 +The addressed user is not logged on or the addressed user denies +permission. +.SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS" +Default. +.LP +.IR "The following sections are informative." +.SH "APPLICATION USAGE" +The +.IR talk +utility is considered by some users to be a more usable utility on +full-screen terminals. +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH RATIONALE +The +.IR write +utility was included in this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 since it can be implemented on all +terminal types. The standard developers considered the +.IR talk +utility, which cannot be implemented on certain terminals, to be a +``better'' communications interface. Both of these programs are in +widespread use on historical implementations. Therefore, the standard +developers decided that both utilities should be specified. +.P +The format of the terminal name is unspecified, but the descriptions of +.IR ps , +.IR talk , +.IR who , +and +.IR write +require that they all use or accept the same format. +.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" +None. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR "\fImesg\fR\^", +.IR "\fItalk\fR\^", +.IR "\fIwho\fR\^" +.P +The Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "Chapter 8" ", " "Environment Variables", +.IR "Chapter 11" ", " "General Terminal Interface" +.\" +.SH COPYRIGHT +Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form +from IEEE Std 1003.1-2017, Standard for Information Technology +-- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base +Specifications Issue 7, 2018 Edition, +Copyright (C) 2018 by the Institute of +Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group. +In the event of any discrepancy between this version and the original IEEE and +The Open Group Standard, the original IEEE and The Open Group Standard +is the referee document.
