Is there a good reason to avoid the system call writev(2)? The reason I ask is, I've never seen it in any code, but I think it would be useful for something I'm writing now. If writev is BSD only (is it?), that's not a big problem, it can be emulated well enough for my needs should the code need to be moved to a non-BSD derived environment. Will writev be in SysVr4? If it wouln't, will Sun still keep it? Thanks, Svante.Lindahl@front.se (!-net: ...!uunet!front.se!svante) (non-mx: Svante.Lindahl%front.se@uunet.uu.net)
