OpenBSD and FreeBSD do have sendfile(), but args are different compared to the interface presented by Linux. It should be trivial to write a wrapper, though: https://man.openbsd.org/FreeBSD-11.1/sendfile.2 https://man.openbsd.org/FreeBSD-11.1/sendfile.2 https://linux.die.net/man/2/sendfile https://linux.die.net/man/2/sendfile

That manpage is an import from freebsd, not part of base -- As far as I can see on my system it's not there: OpenBSD: $ man 2 sendfile man: No entry for sendfile in section 2 of the manual. $ grep -rni sendfile /usr/include | wc -l 0 FreeBSD: # grep -rni sendfile /usr/include | wc -l 30 edit: typo

  On Openbsd you have sosplice, which can be used much like sendfile.

    Oh neat, I had no idea that existed. Will have a play, thanks for the tip!

  OK, noted. Thanks for sharing.
