This function is used to asynchronously write a certain number of bytes
of data to a random access device at a specified offset. The function call
always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until
one of the following conditions is true:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
All of the data in the supplied buffers has been written. That is,
the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
The completion_condition function object returns 0.
</li>
</ul></div>
<p>
This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's
async_write_some_at function.

</h6>
<div class="variablelist">
<p class="title"><b></b></p>
<dl>
<dt><span class="term">d</span></dt>
<dd><p>
The device to which the data is to be written. The type must support
the AsyncRandomAccessWriteDevice concept.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">offset</span></dt>
<dd><p>
The offset at which the data will be written.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">buffers</span></dt>
<dd><p>
One or more buffers containing the data to be written. Although the
buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying
memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that
they remain valid until the handler is called.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">completion_condition</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
The function object to be called to determine whether the write operation
is complete. The signature of the function object must be:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">size_t</span> <span class="identifier">completion_condition</span><span class="special">(</span>
<span class="comment">// Result of latest async_write_some_at operation.

</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">size_t</span> <span class="identifier">bytes_transferred</span>
<span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
A return value of 0 indicates that the write operation is complete.
A non-zero return value indicates the maximum number of bytes to
be written on the next call to the device's async_write_some_at function.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">handler</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
The handler to be called when the write operation completes. Copies
will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of
the handler must be:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">handler</span><span class="special">(</span>
<span class="comment">// Result of operation.
</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">system</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">error_code</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">error</span><span class="special">,</span>

</pre>
<p>
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately
or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function.
Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent
to using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">io_service</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">post</span><span class="special">()</span></code>.
