.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBWR()\fR function accepts a \fIread\fR queue pointer as an argument and returns a pointer to the \fIwrite\fR queue of the same module.
.sp
.LP
CAUTION: Make sure the argument to this function is a pointer to a \fIread\fR queue. \fBWR()\fR will not check for queue type, and a system panic could result if the pointer is not to a \fIread\fR queue.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The pointer to the \fIwrite\fR queue.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
The \fBWR()\fR function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
\fBExample 1 \fRUsing \fBWR()\fR
.sp
.LP
In a STREAMS \fBclose\fR(9E) routine, the driver or module is passed a pointer to the \fIread\fR queue. These usually are set to the address of the module-specific data structure for the minor device.
