4 | NAME | |
5 | ---- | |
6 | psendfile - Persistent static file handler for ashd(7) | |
7 | ||
8 | SYNOPSIS | |
9 | -------- | |
10 | *psendfile* [*-h*] | |
11 | ||
12 | DESCRIPTION | |
13 | ----------- | |
14 | ||
15 | *psendfile* is a variant of *sendfile*(1) that runs as a persistent | |
16 | handler. Except those actions of *sendfile* explicitly triggered by | |
17 | command-line options, *psendfile* does the exact same things as | |
18 | *sendfile*, the only difference being that it runs persistently and | |
19 | handles all requests in the same process, instead of spawning a | |
20 | process per request. In doing so, it uses more persistent resources in | |
21 | order to use less resources per request. As such, *psendfile* is more | |
22 | suitable for a system under heavier load, while *sendfile* is more | |
23 | suitable for a system under light load. | |
24 | ||
25 | Accordingly, *psendfile* is a persistent handler, as defined in | |
3b18f350 | 26 | *ashd*(7). See the *sendfile*(1) manpage for all the details of its |
6dcead3f FT |
27 | operations, as it mirrors that program exactly except in the special |
28 | options it accepts. | |
