          (i) Against the property of the judgment debtor,
including orders of sale; and

          (ii) For the delivery of the possession of real
property in which case the writ shall contain a specific
description of the property and a command to the officer to whom
the writ is delivered to deliver the property to the person
entitled to it. The writ may also require the officer to recover
damages for withholding possession and costs, or costs alone,
out of the property of the person who withholds possession.
