seem like you are using iter->block_size - iter->block_offset quite a few times here, and it makes the code harder to read and more verbose.
What about:
```
size_t block_left = iter->block_size - iter->block_offset;
if (len >= block_left) {
    mempcy(iter->block + iter->block_offset, p, block_left);
    iter->iov_offset += block_left;
    ...
```

Why declare len signed and then cast it later tounsigned during comparison?
Sounds like that could lead to wraparound errors. I would declare len size_t, in no case a length can ever be negative.

I found it hard to figure out why this block was ok without a return (which is instead in the other 2 conditional blocks above. At the very least I would put a comment that says what is the chopping in blocks strategy here.

however I also think a different organization of the code might make it more readable:
```
*blocks = 0;
if (iter->block_offest == 0 &&  len >= iter->block_size) {
    /* We have at least one full block, return a whole set of full blocks immediately */
    [code from second block here - except return statemnt]
} else if (len >= iter->block_size - iter->block_offset) {
   /* We can complete one full block to return */
   [code from first block - except return statement]
} else {
   /* Not enough data for a full block, store in temp memory */
   [final block]
}
if (*blocks > 0)
    return 0;
```

Why put these functions inline in a header file ?
They are rather big, I would let the compiler decide what is more efficient speed/space wise.

If I read this function right this return statement makes it so that the function requires iovecs with a total size that is as big or larger than a blocksize, is that intended, if so it should be in the comment that describes the function.
