First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store program instructions executable by the processor to implement;
an operating system comprising a system call interface for sending one or more data files to another system over a network via a connectionless network protocol;
an application configured to invoke said system call interface to initiate sending of one or more data files to another system over the network;
wherein, in response to an invocation of said system call interface by the application, the operating system is configured to send the one or more data files to the another system over the network without the application copying contents of the one or more data files into an address space of the application.

Abstract
A system for atomic file transfer operations over connectionless network protocols includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory contains program instructions executable by the processor to implement an operating system including a system call interface for sending one or more data files to another system over a network via a connectionless network protocol. In response to an invocation of the system call by an application, the operating system is configured to send the one or more data files to the other system over the network without the application copying contents of the data files into application address space.

10. A method, comprising:
-
providing a system call interface in an operating system for sending one or more data files to a destination system over a network via a connectionless network protocol; receiving an invocation of the system call interface from an application at the operating system; in response to the invocation of the system call, the operating system sending the one or more data files to the destination system over the network without the application copying contents of the one or more data files into an address space of the application. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
