+   Combines the functionality of :func:`os.writev` and :func:`os.pwrite`. It
+   writes the contents of *buffers* to file descriptor *fd* at offset *offset*.
+   *buffers* must be a sequence of :term:`bytes-like objects <bytes-like object>`.
+   Buffers are processed in array order. Entire contents of first buffer is written
+   before proceeding to second, and so on. The operating system may set a limit
+   (sysconf() value SC_IOV_MAX) on the number of buffers that can be used.
+   :func:`~os.pwritev` writes the contents of each object to the file descriptor
+   and returns the total number of bytes written.

+   Combines the functionality of :func:`os.readv` and :func:`os.pread`. It
+   reads from a file descriptor *fd* into a number of mutable :term:`bytes-like
+   objects <bytes-like object>` *buffers*. As :func:`os.readv`, it will transfer
+   data into each buffer until it is full and then move on to the next buffer in
