Hi
What happens when unlink()ing a file that has just been sendfile()d? Is
there any guarantee that the file remains in the buffer cache while TCP
completes the xmit?
Thx.

Unlinking an open tmp file (so it doesn't show up in a directory listing
) is a pretty common thing to do on Irix. I sure hope one can do that
on linux :)
