New submission from Charles-François Natali: os.sendfile() documentation states: """ On Solaris, out may be the file descriptor of a regular file or the file descriptor of a socket. On all other platforms, out must be the file descriptor of an open socket. """
This isn't true for Linux anymore (changed somewhere around 2.6.33), so it would probably be better to rephrase to something like "all platforms support sockets as out file descriptor, and some platforms allow other types (e.g. regular files) as well". ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 185040 nosy: docs@python, neologix priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: fix os.senfile() documentation regarding the type of file descriptor type: behavior versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17529> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
