## libivykis-0.42 – asynchronous I/O readiness notification library

## Description

    libivykis is a library for asynchronous I/O readiness notification.
    It is a thin, portable wrapper around OS-provided mechanisms such as
    kqueue(2) and poll(2).

    libivykis was mainly designed for building high-performance network
    applications, but can be used in any event-driven application that uses
    poll(2)able file descriptors as its event sources.

    While some programming models dictate using blocking I/O and starting a
    thread per event source, programs written to the ivykis API are
    generally single-threaded (or use only a small number of threads), and
    never block on I/O. All input and output is done in a nonblocking
    fashion, with I/O readiness notifications delivered via callback
    functions.
