Hi there! I'm building a application which makes extensive use of GLib. Since it is a network application, it uses sockets, so I decided to use the GIOChannel to have a nice higher level on top of sockets. It is working flawlessly.
But I have a problem: my application requires the send of files through the socket. The way I'm doing this right now is, read a fixed buffer data from the file and write it to the GIOChannel. I know this to be very inefficient. I'm copying data from the kernel space to the user space, only to send it through kernel space again. With raw sockets I could use the sendfile system call that allows me to pass this job of transferring streams to the kernel. So my question is: is it possible to use sendfile with GIOChannel? Is there any other efficient alternative? Am I forced to use the "read to buffer" -> "write to socket" approach? Thank you for your support. Ruben -- Ruben Fonseca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
