 Description
-    Allows some fields/registered objects to be written more often than others.
+    This function object allows user-selected fields/registered objects to be
+    written at a custom write interval.  It operates by deleting all entries
+    except those selected after writing.
 
-    Works in the opposite way: deletes at intermediate times all
-    but selected fields.
+    Example of function object specification:
+    \verbatim
+    partialWrite1
+    {
+        type        partialWrite;
+        functionObjectLibs ("libIOFunctionObjects.so");
