write() system call arguments

Hi,

I'm trying to understand the arguments from this system call, can someone help me figure it out?
Code:
write(1, "/home/nick/11sp/fred\n", 27/home/nick/11sp/fred) = 27

for argument 1, i know it is a file descriptor which specifies standard output. Argument 2, i believe is "what is to be written"... what's argument 3? and what is 27?

Thanks
