55*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
56*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p>
57*1031c584SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>device_write_async</strong> function enqueues a write operation for a
58*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionssequence of bytes to a device object. The meaning of recnum as well as
59*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsthe specific operation performed is device dependent.
60*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
61*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p>
62*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<strong>device_write_async</strong> returns only invalid parameter errors.
