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:
“We now come to the grand law of the system in which we are placed, as it has been developed by the experience of our race, and that, in one word, is SACRIFICE!”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“A woman spent all Christmas Day in a telephone box without ringing anyone. If someone comes to phone, she leaves the box, then resumes her place afterwards. No one calls her either, but from a window in the street, someone watched her all day, no doubt since they had nothing better to do. The Christmas syndrome.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
