I had forgotten that sendfile bypasses sosend(9). I could add the check, is there a reason not to? The one reason I figured was that sometimes blocking sigpipe can be hairy inside libraries. Now that we can selectively disable SIGPIPE using the setsockopt using Apple's code this is less of an issue. -- - Alfred Perlstein - Research Engineering Development Inc. - email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell: 408-480-4684 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
