<dd>
[pointer to in array of bytes]
Data bytes to be written.
<p>
<dt> <var>data_count</var> 
<dd>
[in scalar]
Number of data bytes to be written.
<p>
<dt> <var>return_code</var> 
<dd>

<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
<p>
The <strong>device_write_inband</strong> function writes a sequence of bytes to a device
object.  The meaning of <var>recnum</var> as well as the specific operation 
performed is device dependent.  This call differs from <strong>device_write</strong>
in that the bytes to be written are sent "inband" in the request IPC message.
<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
<p>
Only generic errors apply.
