Hi all,

I just released ruby-sendfile 0.0.1, which is a Ruby binding for the  
sendfile(2) system call on platforms that support it (Linux, FreeBSD and  
Solaris). You can find it here:

[http://cbcg.net/code/](http://cbcg.net/code/)

If you’re going to rdoc it, use HTML, not ri output. Something’s wrong  
with the ri output on it for some reason.

Anyway, if anyone has a Solaris box and would like to try this out,  
please let me know how it goes as I don’t have a Solaris box to test on  
(but it should work since Linux and Solaris’ sendfile(2) interfaces are  
so similar).

Thanks!
