6 <para>If this parameter is <constant>yes</constant>, and the <constant>sendfile()</constant> system call is supported by the underlying operating system, then some SMB read calls (mainly ReadAndX
7 and ReadRaw) will use the more efficient sendfile system call for files that
8 are exclusively oplocked. This may make more efficient use of the system CPU's
9 and cause Samba to be faster. Samba automatically turns this off for clients
