SubjectRe: sendfile
Hi

I had a look at this a couple of days ago.

It seems that it's not in libc yet, so it's not useable (note - I haven't
checked the latest latest libc... this was about 3 weeks ago or so)

Have a look at mm/filemap.c -

asmlinkage ssize_t sys_sendfile(int out_fd, int in_fd, off_t *offset,
size_t count)
