WRITE(1)

NAME
write - write to another user

SYNOPSIS
write user ...

DESCRIPTION
This write is a stripped-down version of a regular write command. This command allows a single message to be sent to the users listed on the command line. The message will be sent to all of the users listed, on each tty onto which they are logged in. The message is terminated with the end-of-line character (usually a control-D). Permission to write to a specific user's tty is granted or removed with the mesg (1) command (or by changing the permissions on the tty so that other users cannot write to it).

FILES
/etc/utmp
