/*
 * sendfile: The implementation of the sendfile system call varies
 * a lot on different *nix platforms so to make the api similar in all
 * we have to emulate some things in linux and play with variables on
 * bsd/darwin.
 *
 * All of the calls will split a command which tries to send more than
 * SENDFILE_CHUNK_SIZE of data at once.
 *
 * On platforms where *nbytes of 0 does not mean the entire file, this is
 * simulated.
 *
 * It could be possible to implement header/trailer in sendfile. Though
 * you would have to emulate it in linux and on BSD/Darwin some complex
 * calculations have to be made when using a non blocking socket to figure
 * out how much of the header/file/trailer was sent in each command.
 *
 * The semantics of the API is this:
 * Return value: 1 if all data was sent and the function does not need to
 * be called again. 0 if an error occures OR if there is more data which
 * has to be sent (EAGAIN or EINTR will be set appropriately)
 *
 * The amount of data written in a call is returned through nbytes.
