NAME

       iob_send - send I/O batch

SYNTAX

       #include <iob.h>

       int64 iob_send(int64 s,io_batch* b);

DESCRIPTION

       iob_send sends the (rest of) b over the socket s.

       iob_send  returns the number of bytes written, 0 if there were no more bytes to be written
       in the batch, -1 for EAGAIN, or -3 for a permanent error (for example "connection reset by
       peer").

       The  normal usage pattern is using io_wait to know when a descriptor is writable, and then
       calling iob_send until it returns 0, -1 or -3.

       If it returns 0, terminate the loop (everything was written OK).  If it returns  -1,  call
       io_wait again.  If it returned -3, signal an error and close the socket.

       The benefit of the I/O batch API is that it exploits platform specific APIs like FreeBSD's
       sendfile.  The file contents will always be sent  in  a  way  that  allows  the  operating
       systems  to  perform  zero  copy  TCP,  and  the  buffers will always be sent using as few
       syscalls as possible and avoiding unnecessary copying (using writev).
