Why do you complain?  And why here?

The sendfile prototype is in <sys/sendfile.h> and not in <unistd.h>.
So, what do you want?  sys/ is the directory for system-specific headers
so this is exactly the place to put this header.  And as for the rest:
apparently people already had ideas like this just much earlier and you
didn't even bother to check.
