Hello,

i have an (portable) application that needs sys/sendfile.h to work. This file exists in Linux (i checked) but not on AIX. Can it be installed or is it a programming error?

regards

Jörg

Hi Joerg Luehmann,

Yes, in AIX we do not have sys/sendfile.h. This is a part of glibc in Linux. I checked the code to see what is going on.

If you are using sendfile () in Linux, I think then AIX has a similar function in send_file() via /usr/include/sys/socket.h.

All you need to do is change sendfile() to send_file() and include that file. [#include <sys/socket.h>]

You may want to check that out and try?? Hope this is useful.
