--- Comment #2 from Askar Safin <safinaskar-JGs/UdohzUI@public.gmane.org> ---"The Linux-specific splice(2) call supports transferring data between arbitrary files (e.g., a pair of sockets)" "pair of sockets" part is wrong. See splice(2). Also, I just tested this, splice doesn't work on pair of sockets (tested on Linux 3.16). So, please, change this phrase to (for example): "The Linux-specific splice(2) call supports transferring data between arbitrary file descriptors provided one of them (or both) is a pipe". (Also, where is your change? I don't see it in current head [ https://git.kernel.org/cgit/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/man2/sendfile.2?id=beb9356fdc3d377f27eec6fd2cb07b97bb1927d4 ]) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
