>Description:
FreeBSD's sendfile syntax is
int sendfile(int fd, int s, off_t offset, size_t nbytes,
struct sf_hdtr *hdtr, off_t *sbytes, int flags)
HP-UX's is
ssize_t sendfile(int s, int fd, off_t offset, size_t nbytes,
const struct iovec *hdtrl, int flags);
Linux's is
int sendfile(int out_fd, int in_fd, off_t *offset, size_t count)
It's a shame that they are different. The Linux people obviously need
to improve their version...
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
re-arrange the arguments for sendfile() to be in the same order as HP-UX
