Welcome to help us with support for AIX!

This has been taken care of in a committed change. All other known
systems implement sendfile() as an interface to the kernel, except
AIX where send_file() was chosen.

This and all other macros mentioned are unconditionally defined in
<arpa/telnet.h> in those unices we have access to. Where does AIX
define these macros?

Does <netdb.h> need its prerequisite headers included in a specified
order? The mentioning of 'h_errno_which', unused and unknown to us,
indicates that AIX is intentionally using non-portable constructs.

Are the declarations of these four identifiers conditionally available
in <arpa/ftp.h>? A Solaris systems just needs the macro FTP_NAMES.
Is AIX using another macro?

Why does AIX require a threading library, and how?

Looking forward to your information! Best regards,
