Description
Networked and event-driven applications can share a portable foundation for asynchronous I/O.
This library is useful for developers building servers, runtimes, command-line tools, and applications that need event loops, timers, filesystem operations, and network sockets across platforms. It does not add a user-facing app; other software uses it internally.
Asynchronous I/O affects responsiveness, concurrency, and failure handling. Test parent applications under load and shutdown scenarios.
