SW$TEXBUF
SAR$ WRITE
The address of the output text buffer, into which the caller places the character text
to be written out. Subsection 15.6.2 describes the text buffer.
SW$TEXBUFL
The length in 9-bit bytes of the character text in the text buffer.
SW$ATTRIB
The address of the output attribute table into which the caller places the attributes
describing the character text to be output. This field is undefined if the
SW$ATTRIBL field is set to zero. Subsection 15.6.2 describes the format of the
attribute table.
SW$ATTRIBL
The number of valid entries in the attribute table (each entry is one word.) A value of
zero indicates there is no output attribute table.
SW$SDFICW
If the SW$OUTRECT field is set to 1 (SDF control record), the caller must place the
SDF image control word in this field, and place any data words of the control record
in the output text buffer.
18.2.1.2. Optional Information for WRITE Procedures
The calling program may optionally set the following fields of the WRITE packet. The
default values are obtained by zero-filling the WRITE packet before placing any
information in the packet.
SW$OUTFILT
The file type that output images are written to:
0 Write to an SDF element (default).
1 Write to an SDF file.
2 Write to the standard PRINT$ file.
3 Write to the standard PUNCH$ file.
4 Write to an alternate PRINT$ file.
5 Write to an alternate PUNCH$ file.
6 Construct the output image in the image buffer, but do not write it out.
The output file may not be a tape file.
