* Name: sendfile
*
* Description:
* sendfile() copies data between one file descriptor and another.
* sendfile() basically just wraps a sequence of reads() and writes()
* to perform a copy. It serves a purpose in systems where there is
* a penalty for copies to between user and kernel space, but really
* nothing in NuttX but provide some Linux compatible (and adding
* another 'almost standard' interface).
*
* NOTE: This interface is *not* specified in POSIX.1-2001, or other
* standards. The implementation here is very similar to the Linux
* sendfile interface. Other UNIX systems implement sendfile() with
* different semantics and prototypes. sendfile() should not be used
* in portable programs.
*
* Input Parameters:
* infd - A file (or socket) descriptor opened for reading
* outfd - A descriptor opened for writing.
* offset - If 'offset' is not NULL, then it points to a variable
* holding the file offset from which sendfile() will start
* reading data from 'infd'. When sendfile() returns, this
* variable will be set to the offset of the byte following
* the last byte that was read. If 'offset' is not NULL,
* then sendfile() does not modify the current file offset of
* 'infd'; otherwise the current file offset is adjusted to
* reflect the number of bytes read from 'infd.'
*
* If 'offset' is NULL, then data will be read from 'infd'
* starting at the current file offset, and the file offset
* will be updated by the call.
* count - The number of bytes to copy between the file descriptors.
*
* Returned Value:
* If the transfer was successful, the number of bytes written to outfd is
* returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
* There error values are those returned by read() or write() plus:
*
* EINVAL - Bad input parameters.
* ENOMEM - Could not allocated an I/O buffer
