  Description     : Event-based fully asynchronous I/O library

Libeio is a full-featured asynchronous I/O library for C, modeled in similar
style and spirit as libev. Features include: asynchronous read, write, open,
close, stat, unlink, fdatasync, mknod, readdir etc. (basically the full POSIX
API). sendfile (native on Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, FreeBSD, emulated everywhere
else), readahead (emulated where not available).

It is fully event-library agnostic and can easily be integrated into any
event-library (or used standalone, even in polling mode). It is very portable
and relies only on POSIX threads.
