read_descriptor_t ?

Hi all
sys_read uses a variable of the type read_descriptor_t. The docum,entation
for the defn of this says that it is a descriptor for what we are upto
with a read for sendfile().

WHAT IS sendfile() ??

And how does read_descriptor_t allow same read code yet multiple users of
the data read ???

Thanx
