IMPORTANT This project is long dead, the crates.io package sendfile no
longer points at this repo, and is no longer controlled by me.
This library was written during my early Rust days, primarily for learning purposes, and was never put into production.
Fellow developer @Thomasdezeeuw has done a
better work of wrapping the nice kernel feature type-safely, at
Thomasdezeeuw/sendfile.
You can transition to that API for sendfile functionality.
sendfile.rs is a wrapper library aimed to provide zero-copy I/O on platforms supporting it.
This library uses the syscall crate to make the system call, which uses inline assembly. Thus, nightly Rust is needed to utilize this library for now.
Currently only Linux is supported; pull requests are welcome, of course.
This library is tested on Linux x86_64 by the author.
Please see the examples/ directory for usage instructions.
sendfile.rs is dual-licensed under either the Apache 2.0 license or the MIT license, which is the same licensing options of Rust.
