-- | A portable sendfile library
--   
--   A library which exposes zero-copy sendfile functionality in a portable
--   way. If a platform does not support sendfile, a fallback
--   implementation in haskell is provided.
--   
--   Currently supported platforms: Windows 2000+ (Native), Linux 2.6+
--   (Native), Everything else (Haskell).
@package sendfile
@version 0.3.1


-- | A cross-platform wrapper for sendfile -- this implements an available
--   operating-system call if supported, otherwise it falls back to a
--   portable haskell implementation. SendFile will flush the output Handle
--   before transmission.
--   
--   Keep in mind that the input should only be a <a>Handle</a> derived
--   from a network socket (by using socketToHandle). Using something other
--   than a network socket for the input Handle will result in undefined
--   behavior. Furthermore, for consistent read/write behavior, both the
--   output and input handles should be opened in Binary mode rather than
--   Text mode (especially if you are using hSeek).
module Network.Socket.SendFile

-- | The simplest interface. Simply give it an output <a>Handle</a> and the
--   <a>FilePath</a> to the input file.
sendFile :: Handle -> FilePath -> IO ()

-- | A more powerful interface than sendFile, sendFile' accepts a
--   <a>Handle</a> for the input file instead of a <a>FilePath</a> and the
--   number of bytes you would like to read; this number must be a positive
--   integer. This unlocks the full potential <a>Handle</a>(s). For
--   instance, if you wanted to start reading from a particular offset, you
--   could utilize hSeek. If you need the file size you can use hFileSize.
sendFile' :: Handle -> Handle -> Integer -> IO ()

-- | Returns the mode that sendfile was compiled with. Mainly for debugging
--   use. Possible values are WIN32_SENDFILE, LINUX_SENDFILE, and
--   PORTABLE_SENDFILE.
