== Introduction ==
python-writev is a module providing an interface to the writev(2) unix system
call.
This software is released under the new BSD license.
== Status ==
Currently beta status. The author is a newcomer to python C extensions
and may have gotten the reference counting wrong, especially in error
conditions. Reviews are welcome.
== Usage ==
import writev
written = writev.writev(fd, [string1, string2, ...])
written, remaining = writev.lwritev(fd, [string1, string2, ...])
The writev function is a simple wrapper around writev. It returns the
number of bytes written successfully by writev.
The lwritev function is an enhanced interface which does the work of
generating a list of unwritten strings for you. It returns a tuple composed
of an integer containing the bytes written, and a list. The list contains,
first, a new string composed of the unwritten bytes of any partially-written
string, and then the remaining whole unwritten strings.
