  Description     : Java extended native cross-platform I/O library

Java Native Runtime (JNR) is a collection of Java libraries to make 
interfacing with OS-level features easier.  JNR uses an alternate
method to JNI or JNA to achieve programming simplicity while still
retaining performance.

The jnr-enxio package mimcs the standard Java non-blocking I/O (NIO)
library by implementing an I/O backend based on calls to the underlying
native OS-level functions.  This is implementing using the jnr-ffi
foreign function interface.
