Well, the problem is how do you handle partial writes? Is there a
case in which an error occurs but the caller would want to know how much
data was successfully written? If not, you could just change the
interface to return a boolean 1 (all data successfully written) or 0
(error), though it would obviously be better to give such a routine a
different name and change the current code over manually. Otherwise, it
should probably act like a write() that doesn't return EINTR: i.e., if an
error occurs after writing some data out, it should return the number of
bytes successfully written, not -1.
