Just weird..

int
cxwrite(int fd, char *ptr, size_t nbytes)
{
    ...
    write(fd, buffer, offset)


I have no idea what the new line should look like.

The second argument should most likely be NULL rather than 0, but then why 1 byte for the last argument?

Writing to STDIN makes little sense..
return (cxwrite(FILENO_STDOUT, NULL, 0)); ? Your guess is as good as mine!

first one should of course be fd and nbytes can be anything. The reason is, wxwrite() is implementing the multibyte version of cxwrite(); cxwrite() does flush the static buffer when called with ptr == NULL, and while flushing, it is ignoring nbytes because it only needs to write internal buffer.
So the correct call is cxwrite(fd, NULL, 0).
