|

:Description: From the Introduction: "I/O Event handling is about
|
||||
how your Operating System allows you to manage a large number of
|
||||
open files (file descriptors in UNIX/POSIX, or FDs) in your
|
||||
application. You want the OS to notify you when FDs become active
|
||||
(have data ready to be read or are ready for writing). Ideally you
|
||||
want a mechanism that is scalable. This means a large number of
|
||||
inactive FDs cost very little in memory and CPU time to manage".
