I notice Linux is described as not taking count=0 to mean to send until the end of "in" is reached. Is it possible to pass (size_t)-1 to this field if None is given, or do a loop on non-zero counts from sendfile to emulate this?

I poked around the linux source for 2.6.32, and it appears sendfile() is emulated on top of splice(), but this doesn't provide undocumented count=0 handling as I was hoping.
