Text

The writ may be either alternative or peremptory. The alternative writ must state generally
the allegation against the party to whom it is directed and must command such party
immediately upon the receipt of the writ, or at some other specified time, to do the act required
to be performed or to show cause before the court at a specified time and place why the party
has not done such act. The peremptory writ must be in a similar form except that the words
requiring the party to show cause why the party has not obeyed the command must be omitted
