[address] w[!] [[>>] file]

Write lines specified by address to file, or write full contents of buffer if address is not specified. If file is also omitted, save the contents of the buffer to the current filename. If >> file is used, write contents to the end of an existing file. The ! flag forces the editor to write over any current contents of file.
