!!DESCRIPTION
__readv__ reads data from file descriptor ''fd'', and puts the result in the buffers described by ''vector''. The number of buffers is specified by ''count''. The
buffers are filled in the order specified. Operates just like __read__ except that data is put in ''vector'' instead of a contiguous buffer.
-
__writev__ writes data to file descriptor ''fd'', and from the buffers described by ''vector''. The number of buffers is specified by ''count''. The buffers are used in the order specified. Operates just like __write__ except that data is taken from ''vector'' instead of a contiguous buffer.
