-.SH NAME
-iovec \- Vector I/O data structure
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.EX
-.B #include <sys/uio.h>
-.P
-.B struct iovec {
-.BR " void *iov_base;" " /* Starting address */"
-.BR " size_t iov_len;" " /* Size of the memory pointed to by "\c
-.IR iov_base ". */"
-.B };
-.EE
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Describes a region of memory, beginning at
-.I iov_base
-address and with the size of
-.I iov_len
-bytes.
-System calls use arrays of this structure,
-where each element of the array represents a memory region,
-and the whole array represents a vector of memory regions.
-The maximum number of
-.I iovec
-structures in that array
-is limited by
-.B IOV_MAX
-(defined in
-.IR <limits.h> ,
-or accessible via the call
-.IR sysconf(_SC_IOV_MAX) ).
-.SH STANDARDS
-POSIX.1-2008.
-.SH HISTORY
-POSIX.1-2001.
