Hmm, I missed that part.  It never occurred to me to *not* use mbufs.

I guess the question is: what is your question?  Does your code work?
If it doesn't, where and how does it fail?  If it does, why are you
asking?

In any case, 'man 9 sosend' answers the "I can't find useful information
on sosend()" part of your email.  If you still have questions after
reading that, try looking at existing kernel code that uses sosend(9)
with iovecs (or with mbufs, if you decide to go that route).
