  * Description:
  *   The writev() function is equivalent to write(), except as described
  *   below. The writev() function will gather output data from the 'iovcnt'
- *   buffers specified by the members of the 'iov' array: iov[0], iov[1], ...,
- *   iov[iovcnt-1]. The 'iovcnt' argument is valid if greater than 0 and less
