Writing files to disk

fwrite() is a parallel file writer, and like fread(), it also has intelligent defaults.

For example, print dt in your console and notice that the column name has the first and last names separated with a , and the column val is of type list. fwrite() can automatically quote name column and add a secondary separator (the symbol for OR operator, |) for the list column.
