Writes the given object to self, which must be opened for writing (see Modes); returns the number bytes written. If object is not a string is converted via method to_s:
Example
f = File.new('t.tmp', 'w') f.syswrite('foo') # => 3 f.syswrite(30) # => 2 f.syswrite(:foo) # => 3 f.close
This methods should not be used with other stream-writer methods.
