io_sendfile sends data from a file to a socket. This function tries to do this in a way that allows high
quality operating systems to do zero-copy TCP (serving the data without copying the file contents to user
space or inside kernel space). This function will use special operating system "sendfile" primitives
where available and use memory mapped I/O otherwise. It should always be faster than using read() and
write() to copy the data yourself.
io_sendfile will return the number of bytes sent. If an error occurred, it will return -1 for EAGAIN, or
-3 otherwise.
