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