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:
“Our system of government, in spite of Vietnam, Cambodia, CIA, Watergate, is still the best system of government on earth. And the greatest resource of all are the 215 million Americans who still have within us the strength, the character, the intelligence, the experience, the patriotism, the idealism, the compassion, the sense of brotherhood on which we can rely in the future to restore the greatness to our country.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service. We have become a self- service populace, and all our specious comforts—the automatic elevator, the escalator, the cafeteria—are depriving us of volition and moral and physical energy.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
