I think you are going to regret making splice() a system call, it shouldn't be, you'll find cases where it won't work. Make it a library call built out of pull() and push(), see my original postings on this and you'll follow the logic. Making splice a system call is like putting ftp into the kernel, not a good idea. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitkeeper.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
