That makes sense, but the documentation strongly implies that it's 
okay to leave the pointer NULL. The exact wording is: "If 
bytes_writtenp is set, the number of bytes written is stored in the 
integer it points to."

The word "if" causes me to think that it's optional. I'd suggest just 
rewording the documentation: "bytes_writtenp points to an integer 
where the number of bytes written will be stored." That makes it 
clearer that it's not optional.
