NAME

sendfile - Sends a file.

SYNOPSIS

sendfile([finish:true|false, ct:""], files ….);

DESCRIPTION

This function is used to send files immediately to the output.

            a=xls_new();
            xls_set(xls:a,x:1,y:1,str:"test");
            xls_set(xls:a,x:1,y:2,str:"1234");
            xls_write(xls:a,file:"/tmp/test.xls");
            xls_free(a);
            headers_out("Content-Disposition",'attachment; filename="test.xls"');
            sendfile("/tmp/test.xls", finish:false);
