Please wrap your commit messages at 70 or so columns (since 'git log'
will display your text with indentation, and many people still prefer
80-column terminal windows).

Is 0 the correct thing to return on an error? Why not -1 or negative
errno? Or is this a sign of a coding error, in which case it could be
an assertion instead of a special return?

sizeof(uint8_t) == 1, so this is simpler to write as just:
iov_to_buf(iov, iovcnt, 0, buffer, NET_BUFSIZE)
except that NET_BUFSIZE is not the right size any more. You want to use
iov_len, which is the guaranteed length of buffer, and not NET_BUFSIZE
which might be larger than the buffer.
