 This is indeed the write() you are looking for.
 Single Unix v3 specifies that this file nust be declared in unistd.h ;
it seems that Irix is not compliant.

 I suggest:
  grep -l -F 'write(' /usr/include
to look for every *write declaration in your standard headers. Then you
can include the proper .h file.

 When messing around with headers, you may experience problems due to
lack of self-containedness. It's generally a good bet to start with
#include <sys/types.h>
which is self-contained on every system I have seen, and declares a lot
of symbols that are needed in other headers.
