ivykis Description

A library for asynchronous I/O readiness notification. ivykis is a library for asynchronous I/O readiness notification.ivykis library is a thin, portable wrapper around OS-provided mechanisms such as /dev/epoll, /dev/poll, kqueue(2), poll(2), POSIX realtime signals, select(2), and epoll_create(2).ivykis was mainly designed for building high-performance network servers, but can be used as building block for any kind of event-driven application that uses poll(2)able file descriptors as its inputs. What's New in This Release: · This release removes support for a couple of poll methods that are now considered obsolete such as /dev/epoll, introduces a stable library ABI, and prepares the library for switching over to fully level-triggered operation.
