REWRITE - set up file for writing.

Usage:

var
    f : file of TYPE;
  ...
rewrite(f);

Where:

f
is a variable of any valid file type. "f" must be associated with a file before "rewrite" is called. This means opening "f" with the "openf" function, or associating "f" with a file on the command line that invokes the program.

Description:

The "rewrite" procedure sets up a file for writing. This means that the file is "rewound" to its beginning so that any write operations to the file will overwrite whatever is currently there. Anything that was previously in the file will be lost.

The "rewrite" procedure automatically sets "eof(f)" to true.
