NAME
       uio.h, uio - definitions for vector I/O operations

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/uio.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  <sys/uio.h> header defines the iovec structure, which includes the
       following members:

       void   *iov_base	    /* base address of a memory region for input or output */
       size_t iov_len	    /* size of the memory pointed to by iov_base */

       The <sys/uio.h> header uses the iovec structure for scatter/gather I/O.

       The ssize_t and size_t types are defined as described in <sys/types.h>.

USAGE
       The symbol {IOV_MAX} defined in <limits.h> should  always  be  used  to
       learn  about  the  limits on the number of scatter/gather elements that
       can be processed in one call, instead of assuming a fixed value.
