See how libyahoo2 does this.  All functions that need to send data to 
the network call a send_data/send_packet function, which writes the data 
to a buffer.  A socket handler (select/poll/etc) calls a write_ready 
callback when the socket is ready to receive data.  At this point, the 
top 1024 bytes of the buffer are sent and the buffer is shortened.  I 
believe TCP takes care of splitting the 1024 bytes into smaller packets 
if necessary.

Same for read.
