Hi! I'm a Norwegian PhD student looking at zero-copy data paths through the OS kernel and found sendfile to be interesting. Do this system call remove all in-memory copy operations, i.e., sharing data buffers between file system and com. system? (i'm sending data from disk to the network) Is there any documentation about sendfile? PS!
