 * \brief Writes the database region (window)
 *
 * Writes the database region file (WIND) in the user's current mapset
 * or when environmental variable \c WIND_OVERRIDE is set,
 * it writes the region to file specified by \c WIND_OVERRIDE variable.
 *
 * When \c WIND_OVERRIDE is set the current process and child processes
 * are affected.
 * Otherwise the whole GRASS session is affected.
 *
 * \warning When environmental variable \c WIND_OVERRIDE is not set,
 * this routine actually changes the database region.
 * So in this case it should only be called by modules which the user knows
 * will change the region. It is probably fair to say that only the
 * \gmod{g.region} should call this routine unless \c WIND_OVERRIDE is set.
 *
 * This function does not adjust the \p window before setting the region
 * so you should call G_adjust_Cell_head() before calling this function.
 *
 * \param[in,out] window pointer to Cell_head
 *
 * \return 1 on success
 * \return -1 on error (no diagnostic message is printed)
