		<para>
			This function writes a record that is <emphasis>buflen</emphasis> bytes long from the buffer
			pointed to by <emphasis>buf</emphasis> to a record-structured elementary file (EF) on
			<emphasis>card</emphasis>. The function corresponds to the <link linkend="iso7816">ISO
				7816</link> WRITE RECORD function. Call <link linkend="scselectfile">sc_select_file()</link>
			first to select the file to write to.
		</para>

		<para>
			<emphasis>record</emphasis> specifies the ID of the record to be written, or, if
			<emphasis>flags</emphasis> is set to <symbol>SC_RECORD_BY_REC_NR</symbol>, the record number. If
			<emphasis>record</emphasis> is set to zero, the current record will be read.
		</para>

		<para>
			This function is used for newly created files only; for updating or appending to
			existing files, see the <link linkend="scupdaterecord">sc_update_record()</link> and <link
				linkend="scappendrecord">sc_append_record()</link> functions, respectively.

		<title>Return value</title>
		<para>
			Returns the number of bytes written if successful, or a negative value in case of error.
