https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82841 --- Comment #2 from Jason Newton <nevion@xxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to Alan from comment #1) > O_APPEND is not supported for sendfile(). > > It's documented in the splice() manual page but not for sendfile so I've > moved this to a documentation bug OK so this quirk was not out in the open in documentation - before I opened this bug report I read a few years old discussion: http://fixunix.com/kernel/543017-splice-vs-o_append.html Most of what they're talking about is splice, not sendfile. They might use the same implementation but sendfile should be O_APPEND safe as there is no specifiable offset in the output filedescriptor. Is there a reason to not support it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
