Subject: sendfile(2) fails for devices?
Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 19:14:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A0DE0C8.C700F33D@mandrakesoft.com> (raw)
sendfile(2) fails with -EINVAL every time I try to read from a device
file.
This sounds like a bug... is it? (the man page doesn't mention such a
restriction)
I am using kernel 2.4.0-test11-pre2. All other tests with sendfile(2)
succeed: file->file, file->STDOUT, STDIN->file...
