X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.03 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: sendfile() API? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm currently evaluating the Zeus 3.1 Webserver (it finally available for FreeBSD: www.zeus.co.uk) and in the tuning document they talk about an sendfile() API which is currently only supportet on HP/UX 11.00: http://support.zeus.co.uk/tuning.htm I'm now wondering what exactly that is and if someone has more details or documents on that. They state sendfile() gives excellent Webserver performace, isn't that somthing for FreeBSD?
