--- Comment #3 from Alan <alan-qBU/x9rampVanCEyBjwyrvXRex20P6io@public.gmane.org> ---
sendfile is just a wrapper around splice()

Whether it could therefore support O_APPEND is a good question - but one that
would need asking and discussing on the lists not here, and someone to
contribute the patches to do so.

In the meantime we ought to get the man page fixed.
