NAME
     write_buffer() - write a buffer to a file, or  read  into  a
     buffer from a source

SYNOPSIS
     int write_buffer( string | buffer dest, int start,
                       mixed source );

DESCRIPTION
     If `dest' is a file, then `source' must be an int (and  will
     be  written to the file in network-byte-order), a buffer, or
     a string, and `source' will be written to  the  file  `dest'
     starting at byte # `start'.

     If `dest' is a buffer, then `source' will  be  written  into
     the  buffer  starting  at  byte # `start' in the buffer.  If
     `source' is an int, it  will  be  written  in  network-byte-
     order.
