Well, I sympathize with the idea of sticking to the underlying
syscall semantics; yet, for my own uses of ‘sendfile’, I can only
think of cases all I want is to send the file.
I understand; it's easy to project one's limitations into the code.
(Besides, it seems to be unusual to get ‘sendfile’ to send less than
asked to. The ‘pipe’ example mentioned in the manual would 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.
