## write

    [address] w[!] [[>>] file]

Write lines specified by `address` to `file`, or write full contents of buffer if `address` is not specified. If `file` is also omitted, save the contents of the buffer to the current filename. If >> `file` is used, write contents to the end of an existing `file`. The ! flag forces the editor to write over any current contents of `file`.
