The writ must be alternative or peremptory. The alternative writ must state generally the allegation against the party to whom it is directed, and must command such party to desist or refrain from further proceedings in the action or matter specified therein until the further order of the court from which it is issued, and to show cause before such court at a specified time and place why such party should not be restrained absolutely from any further proceedings in such action or matter. The peremptory writ must be in a similar form, except that the words requiring the party to show cause why the party should not be restrained absolutely must be omitted and a return day inserted.
