MFC 1.33:

Minor markup fix: A comma should be seperated by space from macro argument. This resulted in "pwritev,()" instead of the intended "pwritev()," in the output. Approved by: re (hrs)

- Add two new system calls: preadv() and pwritev() which are like readv()

and writev() except that they take an additional offset argument and do not change the current file position. In SAT speak: preadv:readv::pread:read and pwritev:writev::pwrite:write. - Try to reduce code duplication some by merging most of the old kern_foov() and dofilefoo() functions into new dofilefoo() functions that are called by kern_foov() and kern_pfoov(). The non-v functions now all generate a simple uio on the stack from the passed in arguments and then call kern_foov(). For example, read() now just builds a uio and calls kern_readv() and pwrite() just builds a uio and calls kern_pwritev().

read(), pread(), write(), and pwrite() return EINVAL if they are asked

for more than INT_MAX bytes.

Reword the last change a bit, add mdoc(7) markup.

Discussed with: bde

Explain it is a negative offset that EINVAL may indicate.

2004-10-16T09:53:35Z

Now readers won't get an impression that pointing to beyond the current end of file will result in EINVAL. MFC after: 1 week

Mechanically kill hard sentence breaks.

Changed EINVAL constant reference from UIO_MAXIOV to IOV_MAX.

2003-10-11T20:47:44Z

The former is a kernel-only visible constant, the latter the POSIX-specified userland constant defined by including limits.h.

Fix struct iovec documentation to match reality.
