    case the slave assumes more bytes are going to be read in a later call).

 .. method:: I2C.write(buf)
 
    Write the bytes from *buf* to the bus.  Checks that an ACK is received
    after each byte and stops transmitting the remaining bytes if a NACK is
    received.  The function returns the number of ACKs that were received.
