<p>
In the function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">start</span><span class="special">()</span></code>,
we call boost::asio::async_write() to serve the data to the client. Note
that we are using boost::asio::async_write(), rather than <a class="link" href="../reference/basic_stream_socket/async_write_some.html" title="basic_stream_socket::async_write_some">ip::tcp::socket::async_write_some()</a>,
to ensure that the entire block of data is sent.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> <span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">start</span><span class="special">()</span>
<span class="special">{</span>
</pre>
<p>
The data to be sent is stored in the class member <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">message_</span></code>
as we need to keep the data valid until the asynchronous operation is complete.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> <span class="identifier">message_</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">make_daytime_string</span><span class="special">();</span>
</pre>
<p>
When initiating the asynchronous operation, and if using boost::bind(), you
must specify only the arguments that match the handler's parameter list.
In this program, both of the argument placeholders (boost::asio::placeholders::error
and boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred) could potentially have
been removed, since they are not being used in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">handle_write</span><span class="special">()</span></code>.

You may have noticed that the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">error</span></code>,
and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">bytes_transferred</span></code> parameters
are not used in the body of the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">handle_write</span><span class="special">()</span></code> function. If parameters are not needed,
it is possible to remove them from the function so that it looks like:

<span class="special">{</span>

The boost::asio::async_write() call used to initiate the call can then be
changed to just:
