> The API of splice() looks complicated. How would you use it in Python? It has the same API as copy_file_range and other similar system calls that we already expose, so we just need to do the same thing we do there. > Are off_in and off_out adjusted as in copy_file_range() and sendfile()?

It behaves the same as in copy_file_range() with the exception that one has to be None (the one associated with the pipe file descriptor). We don't return the updated values (neither we do in copy_file_range()). > Are you going to add vmsplice() and tee() too?

We can certainly discuss adding vmsplice() and tee() (probably tee is more interesting), but in my humble oppinion that would be a different discussion. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41625> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
