iwrite − SICL utility for writing to a device

SYNOPSIS

iwrite [-s size] [-t timeout] [-e 0|1] [-v] [-?] <sym_name>

DESCRIPTION

iwrite is the SICL utility for writing data to a device.  The input of iwrite comes from stdin.  The write is terminated only when size number of bytes is written or a timeout occurs. 
 
The sym_name is the SICL symbolic name of the device.  Note that iwrite is only supported for device addresses. 
 

The parameter definitions follow. 

s <size>
Specifies the number of bytes to read.

t <timeout>
Specifies the timeout value in milliseconds.

e <0 | 1>
Set to non-zero if the END indicator should be given on the last byte of the block, or zero if it should not.  Note that if this parameter is not specified, iwrite will default to giving the END indicator on the last byte of the block. 

v Turns on verbose mode. 

?  Prints the usage of the iwrite program.
