+ * data has been written. This function will block signals
+ * so that it cannot throw `EINTR`, which could mean that

+ * written. Note however, it may fail for any other reason
+ * resulting in the same problem.
+ *
+ * This is a slibc extension.
+ *
+ * @etymology (Write) all `(n)byte` bytes!
+ *
+ * @param fd The file descriptor whither the data shall be write.
+ * @param buf The data to write.
+ * @param nbyte The number of bytes to write.
+ *
+ * @throws Any error specified for write(3), except `EINTR`.
+ *
+ * @since Always.
