- * EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK is not considered a fatal error condition. For example

- * the wait queue, but this can change at any moment.
+ * EAGAIN, EWOULDBLOCK and EINTR are not considered error conditions. If a
+ * write operation fails with EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK, the number of bytes that
+ * have been written so far is returned. In the EINTR case the operation is
+ * retried. Short writes are handled by issuing a subsequent write operation
+ * for the remaining part.
*
* \return Negative on fatal errors, number of bytes written else.
*
* For blocking file descriptors, this function returns either the sum of all
- * buffer sizes, or the error code of the fatal error that caused the last
- * write call to fail.
+ * buffer sizes or a negative error code which indicates the fatal error that
+ * caused a write call to fail.
*
- * For nonblocking file descriptors there is a third possibility: Any positive
- * return value less than the sum of the buffer sizes indicates that some bytes
- * have been written but the next write would block.
+ * For nonblocking file descriptors there is a third possibility: Any
+ * non-negative return value less than the sum of the buffer sizes indicates
+ * that a write operation returned EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK.
