zfs code - Nov 2008 - Directing zfs_send through a pipe

Is passing a pipe as the file descriptor in zfs_send() supported?  I
appear to get the correct number of bytes sent though, but they are all 0...

I''m using the pipe between two threads.

Thanks,

There should be no inherent problem with that arrangement and we''ve  
written code that does exactly this. Can you provide any more data on  
the failure you''re seeing?

Thanks for the reply.  I was seeing a lot of zero data, but I think
I''ve
messed up on some double buffering.

I''m starting to enjoy working with libzfs!
