This is the limit for the number of iovecs that can be passed to readv()/writev()
2.0.x has it as 16
2.1.109 has it as 1024
Is there any reason to enforce a maximum at all, beside the range of size_t?
The header files make a note that a POSIX 1003.g implementation must support at least 16 iovecs as a maximum, but say nothing about an upper bound.
Writing software that is definitely bumping into the limit of 16, and seeing no point in having any limit at all, -- Elliot Do you ever just feel thankful that you know me and have access to my dementia? Explain. Be prepared to discuss in class.
