+ * NAME

+ *   error is returned.
+ *
+ * PARAMETERS
+ *   `fd'          File descriptor to write to.
+ *   `buf'         Buffer that is to be written.
+ *   `count'       Numver of bytes in the buffer.
+ *
+ * RETURN VALUE
+ *   Zero upon success or non-zero if an error occured. `errno' is set in this
+ *   case.
