A code example would be really > welcome! thx Increase your buffer to be 4096 bytes atleast even much bigger like a megabyte to lessen the number of iterations you need and number of syscalls done. You will need to loop reading/writing until you aren't able to read any more data. If you are in Gtk it can be a good ide to call g_main_iterate inside the loop, so the program doesn't freeze for the user.
