NAME
Sys::Sendfile::FreeBSD - Wrapper for the FreeBSD sendfile(2) function.
SYNOPSIS
use Sys::Sendfile::FreeBSD qw(sendfile);
open(F, "file.txt");
my $lengh = (stat("file.txt"))[7];
my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => "127.0.0.1:1234");
my $offset = 0;
my $bytes_sent = 0;
my $result = sendfile(fileno(F), fileno($socket), $offset, $length, $bytes_sent);
close(F);
close($sock);
DESCRIPTION
Uses the FreeBSD sendfile(2) function to send the contents of an open
file handle directly to an open socket. See the sendfile(2) manual page
for more details.
Note that this module does not currently support the header/trailer
functionality of the sendfile(2) function, nor does it allow the flags
argument to be set.
