+/*
+ * "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
+ *
+ * This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
+ * an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
+ * buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.
+ *
+ * The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
+ * that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.
+ *
+ * Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
+ * Jens to support splicing to files, network, direct splicing, etc and
+ * fixing lots of bugs.
