Complementary System Calls
splice is one of three system calls that complete the splice architecture. vmsplice can map an application data area into a pipe (or vice versa), thus allowing transfers between pipes and user memory where sys_splice transfers between a file descriptor and a pipe. tee is the last part of the trilogy. It duplicates one pipe to another, enabling forks in the way applications are connected with pipes.

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or calls:
“An avant-garde man is like an enemy inside a city he is bent on destroying, against which he rebels; for like any system of government, an established form of expression is also a form of oppression. The avant-garde man is the opponent of an existing system.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“But that a joy past joy calls out on me,
It were a grief, so brief to part with thee.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
