          This function is used to asynchronously write a certain number of bytes
          of data to a stream. 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 stream's
          async_write_some function, and is known as a <span class="bold"><strong>composed
          operation</strong></span>. The program must ensure that the stream performs
          no other write operations (such as async_write, the stream's async_write_some
          function, or any other composed operations that perform writes) until this
          operation completes.

<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

                The handler to be called when the write operation completes. Copies

                or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function.
                Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent
