## device_write_async

System Trap - Write a sequence of bytes to a device object.

### SYNOPSIS

    kern_return_t   device_write_async
                    (mach_port_t                             device,
                     mach_port_t                              queue,
                     mach_port_t                         request_id,
                     dev_mode_t                                mode,
                     recnum_t                                recnum,
                     io_buf_ptr_t                              data,
                     io_buf_len_t                      bytes_wanted);

### PARAMETERS

device
  [in device send right] A device port to the device to be read.

queue
  [in io_done queue send right] The port returned from io_done_queue_create.

request_id
  [in send right] An unique request identifier that will be passed back as part of the io_done_result structure.

mode
  [in scalar] I/O mode value. Meaningful options are:

  D_NOWAIT
    Do not wait if data is unavailable.

recnum
  [in scalar] Record number to be read.

data
  [pointer to in array of bytes] Data bytes to be written.

bytes_wanted
  [in scalar] Size of data transfer.

### DESCRIPTION

The device_write_async function enqueues a write operation for a sequence of bytes to a device object. The meaning of recnum as well as the specific operation performed is device dependent.

### RETURN VALUES

device_write_async returns only invalid parameter errors.
