Let file:write_file/3 use writev
Previously, this function would turn any input into a single binary
before writing. This meant it could not take advantage of the `writev`
system call if it was given a list of binaries and told to write with
`raw` mode.
To see this, start an erlang shell on the parent commit, and also
start this dtrace script:
https://github.com/evanmiller/tracewrite
like this:
sudo dtrace -s tracewrite.d -p $(pgrep beam)
In the erlang shell, run the following:
file:write_file("/tmp/tmp.txt", [<<97,98>>, <<98,97>>], [raw]).
In the dtrace output, you will see that the system call used is `write`.
Now repeat with this commit, and you will see that `writev` is used.
