New submission from Michael Felt <aixto...@felt.demon.nl>:
In AIX "sendfile()" is named send_file(). During testing I learned, unexpectedly, that AIX platform has never provided support of os.sendfile(). This is correct that oversight. >From this (and older) documentation - it seems all the bits needed are >available. See >https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_71/com.ibm.aix.commtrf2/send_file.htm At this point - I am assuming that os.sendfile() is for the "socket sendfile() - but would like feedback in case "there is more". As to compareable concerns in the past see: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-01/msg00506.html ---------- components: IO messages: 346029 nosy: Michael.Felt priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os.sendfile() support missing for AIX platform type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37336> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
