Hi,
Would something like this be more efficient?
Basically you're proposing building one bigger buffer for writing rather
than doing several smaller writes?
My experience would say no: memcpy()s should be avoided whenever
possible. Admittedly my experience does not include a lot of file I/O
but I would think/hope the OS would do a good job of buffering smaller
writes into larger I/Os.
Another way to solve the many-small-writes problem (if it is a problem)
would be to use writev().
