https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90911 Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED CC| |mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx Resolution|--- |CODE_FIX --- Comment #1 from Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to Askar Safin from comment #0) > Then, the actual truth is the following: splice returns 0 if and only if > corresponding read would return 0, i. e. on EOF on input (and reading from > pipe without writers is just a special case of EOF). And the sentence > doesn't say anything about reading from files other that pipes. So, please, > rewrite so: > "A return value of 0 means end of input. If input is pipe then this means > that there was no data to transfer, and it would not make sense to block, > because there are no writers connected to the write end of the pipe referred > to by fd_in." So I used that text, pretty much as you gave it. Thanks!
