iob_new(3) Library Functions Manual iob_new(3) NAME iob_new - create new I/O batch SYNTAX #include <libowfat/iob.h> io_batch* iob_new(size_t hint_entries); DESCRIPTION iob_new creates a new I/O batch with enough space allocated for hint_en- tries entries (buffers or files). This is purely a performance hint, if you are unsure just pass 1. You can add buffers, strings and files to an I/O batch and then send it all at once using iob_send. The benefit of the I/O batch API is that it exploits platform specific APIs like FreeBSD's sendfile. The file contents will always be sent in a way that allows the operating systems to perform zero copy TCP, and the buffers will always be sent using as few syscalls as possible and avoiding unneces- sary copying (using writev). RETURN VALUE iob_new returns a pointer to an I/O batch data structure. If there was a memory allocation error, it returns NULL instead.
