12DESCRIPTION
13-----------
14
15*psendfile* is a variant of *sendfile*(1) that runs as a persistent
16handler. Except those actions of *sendfile* explicitly triggered by
17command-line options, *psendfile* does the exact same things as
18*sendfile*, the only difference being that it runs persistently and
19handles all requests in the same process, instead of spawning a
20process per request. In doing so, it uses more persistent resources in
21order to use less resources per request. As such, *psendfile* is more
22suitable for a system under heavier load, while *sendfile* is more
23suitable for a system under light load.
24
25Accordingly, *psendfile* is a persistent handler, as defined in
3b18f350 26*ashd*(7). See the *sendfile*(1) manpage for all the details of its

28options it accepts.
