Do we need to know kernel buffer size to optimize file copyi

Post by zertsekel »

If we know size of former buffer size (=BUF_SIZ), we will possibly use files with size (N * BUF_SIZ) in order to improve file copying.
But on the other hand we should not be interested in BUF_SIZ value, because it is transparent for programmer using well-defined system calls.
What hits?
