I want to see four entry points for writing:

fdWrite :: Strict.ByteString -> IO Int fdWriteAll :: Strict.ByteString -> IO () fdWritev :: [Strict.ByteString] -> IO Int -- turn the list into an iovec, then call writev fdWritevAll :: [Strict.ByteString] -> IO ()

People would normally use the 'All' variants, but there are times when you really do want to know if you've performed a short write so that you can handle it yourself.

What's an "iovec"? -- Live well, ~wren
