https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97491 Bug ID: 97491 Summary: sendfile man page should mention short "sends" Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: gjasny@xxxxxx Regression: No Hello, Linux 3.16 (3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt4-1, glibc 2.19-18) seems to truncate larger requests to 2G (file to file copy): strace output: sendfile(4, 3, [0], 10240000000) = 2147479552 I know one should expect this behavior from read/write calls but for sendfile it was somehow unexpected. Maybe you could mention that fact in the man page for sendfile?
