You could have shown your true color outright and saved me the time. You don't care what I mean, you don't care what anybody means, you will just argue semantics to find a possible meaning where you're right. Well congrats.

I don't care what you mean because it's clear you don't know what you're talking about.
Someone in your position should be posting questions, not arguments.
> As to write(2) being a "blocking syscall" in the technical sense, I don't think I agree either.
Well, you are wrong.
> Of course it has that potential, but a write(2) to a regular file does not block in the sense of an interruptible block, or in the sense that O_NONBLOCK or select() can be used to avoid it.
These have nothing whatsoever to do with whether a syscall is blocking or not. You can't use them on wait(2) either, can you?
Please stop arguing about things you clearly know nothing about.
