zio-sendfile

Rust crate to provide a higher level abstraction over Linux's zero-copy I/O syscall: sendfile. This provides a significantly faster variant of io::copy(&mut source, &mut dest), which only works on Linux -- the platform of choice for the discerning programmer.

extern crate zio_sendfile;

let mut source = File::open("source_path").unwrap();
let mut dest = File::create("dest_path").unwrap();

zio_sendfile::copy(&mut source, &mut dest);
