Bug#760968: ITP: libguasi -- Asynchronous syscall library



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net>

* Package name    : libguasi
  Version         : 0.25
  Upstream Author : Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org>

  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Asynchronous syscall library

The guasi library implements a thread based generic asynchronous execution
engine, to be used to give otherwise synchronous calls an asynchronous
behaviour.  It can be used to wrap any synchronous call, so that it can be
scheduled for execution, and whose result can be fetched at later time
(hence not blocking the submitter thread).  The guasi library can be used
as complement to standard event retrieval interfaces like poll(2),
select(2) or epoll(4).  The guasi library is generic, meaning that any
otherwise synchronous function (not only system calls) can be made
asynchronous.

G'luck,
Peter
