Zero copy in 2.4 kernels

Zero copy in 2.4 kernels

[Stanley Yee]

Is the zero copy function enabled by default in the 2.4.X kernels?  If not,
what do I need to do to enable it?  

Only me,

Zero copy in 2.4 kernels

Is the zero copy function enabled by default in the 2.4.X kernels?  If so
which kernel version and what do I need to do to enable it?  Thanks for your
time.

Only me,

sendfile(2) does zero-copy writes from files to sockets, works on any
