6 psendfile - Persistent static file handler for ashd(7)
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.
25 Accordingly, *psendfile* is a persistent handler, as defined in
26 *ashd*(7). See the *sendfile*(1) manpage for all the details of its
27 operations, as it mirrors that program exactly except in the special
