Hi,
The <sys/uio.h> is used for scattter/gather I/O and for user-land
to kernel-land data movement in UNIX kernels.  On the user-level
of UNIX it is used by the system calls readv(2) and writev(2) (i.e.
try man 2 readv on Solaris or Linux).  If you're application really
needs these two they could be implemented using ordinary read(2)/write(2)
system calls.  If you need more information drop me a line,
					Hans
