#### `writable._writev(chunks, callback)`

* `chunks` {Object[]} The chunks to be written. Each chunk has following
format: `{ chunk: ..., encoding: ... }`.
* `chunks` {Object[]} The data to be written. The value is an array of {Object}
that each represent a discreet chunk of data to write. The properties of
these objects are:
* `chunk` {Buffer|string} A buffer instance or string containing the data to
be written. The `chunk` will be a string if the `Writable` was created with
the `decodeStrings` option set to `false` and a string was passed to `write()`.
* `encoding` {string} The character encoding of the `chunk`. If `chunk` is
a `Buffer`, the `encoding` will be `'buffer`.
* `callback` {Function} A callback function (optionally with an error
argument) to be invoked when processing is complete for the supplied chunks.
