== NAME ==<br />
write - write to another user<br />
<br />
== SYNOPSIS ==<br />
write user [ ttyname ]<br />
<br />
== DESCRIPTION ==<br />
_W_r_i_t_e copies lines from your terminal to that of another<br />
user. When first called, it sends the message<br />
<br />
Message from yourname yourttyname...<br />
<br />
The recipient of the message should write back at this<br />
point. Communication continues until an end of file is read<br />
from the terminal or an interrupt is sent. At that point<br />
_w_r_i_t_e writes `EOT' on the other terminal and exits.<br />
<br />
If you want to write to a user who is logged in more than<br />
once, the _t_t_y_n_a_m_e argument may be used to indicate the<br />
appropriate terminal name.<br />
<br />
Permission to write may be denied or granted by use of the<br />
_m_e_s_g command. At the outset writing is allowed. Certain<br />
commands, in particular _n_r_o_f_f and _p_r(1) disallow messages in<br />
order to prevent messy output.<br />
<br />
If the character `!' is found at the beginning of a line,<br />
_w_r_i_t_e calls the shell to execute the rest of the line as a<br />
command.<br />
<br />
The following protocol is suggested for using _w_r_i_t_e: when<br />
you first write to another user, wait for him to write back<br />
before starting to send. Each party should end each message<br />
with a distinctive signal-(o) for `over' is conventional-<br />
that the other may reply. (oo) for `over and out' is sug-<br />
gested when conversation is about to be terminated.<br />
<br />
== FILES ==<br />
/etc/utmp to find user<br />
/bin/sh to execute `!'<br />
