+ * NAME
+ * plugin_write
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ * Calls the write function of the given plugin with the provided data set and
+ * value list. It differs from `plugin_dispatch_value' in that it does not
+ * update the cache, does no do threshold checking, call the chain subsystem
+ * and so on. It looks up the requested plugin and invokes the function, end
+ * of story.
+ *
+ * ARGUMENTS
+ * plugin Name of the plugin. If NULL, the value is sent to all registered
+ * write functions.
+ * ds Pointer to the data_set_t structure. If NULL, the data set is
+ * looked up according to the `type' member in the `vl' argument.
+ * vl The actual value to be processes. Must not be NULL.
+ *
+ * RETURN VALUE
+ * Returns zero upon success or non-zero if an error occurred. If `plugin' is
+ * NULL and more than one plugin is called, an error is only returned if *all*
+ * plugins fail.
+ *
+ * NOTES
+ * This is the function used by the `write' built-in target. May be used by
+ * other target plugins.
