* Name: writev()
*
* Description:
* The writev() function is equivalent to write(), except as described
* below. The writev() function will gather output data from the 'iovcnt'
* buffers specified by the members of the 'iov' array:
* iov[0], iov[1], ..., iov[iovcnt-1].
* The 'iovcnt' argument is valid if greater than 0 and less than or equal
* to IOV_MAX, as defined in limits.h.
*
* Each iovec entry specifies the base address and length of an area in
* memory from which data should be written. The writev() function always
* writes a complete area before proceeding to the next.
*
* If 'filedes' refers to a regular file and all of the iov_len members in
* the array pointed to by iov are 0, writev() will return 0 and have no
* other effect. For other file types, the behavior is unspecified.
*
* TODO: If the sum of the iov_len values is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the
* operation will fail and no data will be transferred.
*
* Input Parameters:
* filedes - The open file descriptor for the file to be write
* iov - Array of write buffer descriptors
* iovcnt - Number of elements in iov[]
*
* Returned Value:
* Upon successful completion, writev() shall return the number of bytes
* actually written. Otherwise, it shall return a value of -1, the file-
* pointer shall remain unchanged, and errno shall be set to indicate an
* error. See write for the list of returned errno values. In addition,
* the writev() function will fail if:
*
* EINVAL.
* The sum of the iov_len values in the iov array overflowed an ssize_t
* or The 'iovcnt' argument was less than or equal to 0, or greater than
* IOV_MAX (Not implemented).
