| |
Solaris 8 update 7/01 documents a new system call, sendfilev, which is like a cross between sendfile and writev. A copy of the man page is at http://www.kegel.com/sendfilev.txt
The question immediately comes up - is there an aio version? I haven't seen one.
Come to think of it, has anyone thought what an aio version of plain old writev would look like? lio_listio() is *unordered*, but writev is ordered. I wonder if something like lio_ordered_listio() would be useful, or if that's just so complicated it should be done in userland anyway.
