--- 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 [
