2.6.20 Write

W[RITE] postcond SP L writeargument

See 2.5.1 for the definition of postcond. See section 1 for the definition of L.

See 2.5.4 for the definition of format. See 2.3 for the definition of expr. See 2.2.4.1 for the definition of intexpr. See 2.2 for the definition of expratom. See section 1 for the definition of V. See section 1 for the definition of L.

The writearguments are executed, one at a time, in left-to-right order. Each form of argument defines an output operation to the current device.

When the form of argument is format, the output actions defined in 2.5.4 are executed. Each character of output, in turn, affects $X and $Y as described in 2.5.4 and 2.5.5.

When the form of argument is expr, the value of expr is sent to the device. The effect of this string at the device is defined by the ASCII standard and conventions. Each character of output, in turn, affects $X and $Y as described in 2.5.5.

When the form of the argument is *intexpr, one character, not necessarily from the ASCII set and whose code is the number represented in decimal by the value of intexpr, is sent to the device. The effect of this character at the device may be defined by the implementor in a device-dependent manner.
