DESCRIPTION

14       io_sendfile sends data from a file to a socket.  This function tries to
15       do this in a way that allows high quality operating systems to do zero-
16       copy  TCP  (serving  the data without copying the file contents to user
17       space or inside kernel space).  This function will use special  operat‐
18       ing  system "sendfile" primitives where available and use memory mapped
19       I/O otherwise.  It should  always  be  faster  than  using  read()  and
20       write() to copy the data yourself.
21
22       io_sendfile  will  return  the  number  of  bytes  sent.   If  an error
23       occurred, it will return -1 for EAGAIN, or -3 otherwise.
