Hi -hackers, In trying to increase throughput in a file transfer application I am working on, I wondered if it was possible to do something like (code of course edited for brevity):
/* file_fd points to a regular file which is filled with SIZE nul bytes */ map_addr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, file_fd, 0); rv = recv(sockfd, map_addr, size, MSG_WAITALL); Rather than the usual recv() to a fixed size buffer, write() to the file descriptor, loop, etc. However when I try to do this recv gives me back an EFAULT (bad address). Is there a limitation of the architecture which does not allows us to recv() to an mmap'ed area of a file, or is it just something which hasn't been implemented? Thanks. -- Farooq To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
