Can sendfile() linux syscall be used to send part of file from one mmaped file to other mmaped file?
From sendfile(2)
:
Presently (Linux 2.6.9): in_fd, must correspond to a file which supports mmap()-like operations (i.e., it cannot be a socket); and out_fd must refer to a socket.
So it looks like the answer is no.
I think I understand what you are looking for now. Check out splice(2)
