I understand; it's easy to project one's limitations into the code. (Besides, it seems to be unusual to get =E2=80=98sendfile=E2=80=99 to se= nd less than asked to. The =E2=80=98pipe=E2=80=99 example mentioned in the manual wo= uld show up at most once every 10 iterations with our test case.) API design is the art of making possible both the usual and the unusual. =2D-=20 Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlFqioMACgkQZwMiJEyAdQKKuQCgyqEvQE3p1Xi5Ac8uWRSznYlP /24AoIj8R29u23bu+xaCHcV5j6Wgxhb3 =0Ki7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
