> I don't recall the subtle differences between sendfile() and splice(). Basically, splice() is specialized for pipes: splice() only works if one of the file descriptors refer to a pipe. So you can use for e.g. socket-to-pipe or pipe-to-file without copying the data into userspace. But you can't do file-to-file copies with it. sendfile() only works if the source file descriptor refers to something that can be mmap()ed (i.e. mostly normal files) and before 2.6.33 the destination must be a socket. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41625> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
