Splice may refer to:
splice is a Linux-specific system call that moves data between a file descriptor and a pipe without a round trip to user space. The related system call [[vmsplice|vmsplice ]] moves or copies data between a pipe and user space. Ideally, splice and vmsplice work by remapping pages and do not actually copy any data, which may improve I/O performance. As linear addresses do not necessarily correspond to contiguous physical addresses, this may not be possible in all cases and on all hardware combinations.
