This function sends data from fd . If KTLS (kernel TLS) is enabled, it will use the sendfile() system call to avoid overhead of copying data between user space and the kernel. Otherwise, this functionality is merely emulated by calling read() and gnutls_record_send(). If this implementation is suboptimal, check whether KTLS is enabled using gnutls_transport_is_ktls_enabled(). If offset is NULL then file offset is incremented by number of bytes send, otherwise file offset remains unchanged.
