 * This function is used to write a certain number of bytes of data to a random
 * access device at a specified offset. The call will block until one of the
 * following conditions is true:
 *
 * @li 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 An error occurred.
 *
 * This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's
 * write_some_at function.
 *
 * @param d The device to which the data is to be written. The type must support
 * the SyncRandomAccessWriteDevice concept.
 *
 * @param offset The offset at which the data will be written.
 *
 * @param buffers One or more buffers containing the data to be written. The sum
 * of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to write to the
 * device.
 *
 * @returns The number of bytes transferred.
 *
 * @throws boost::system::system_error Thrown on failure.
 *
 * @par Example
 * To write a single data buffer use the @ref buffer function as follows:
 * @code boost::asio::write_at(d, 42, boost::asio::buffer(data, size)); @endcode
 * See the @ref buffer documentation for information on writing multiple
 * buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or
