hasufell@gentoo.org Julian Ospald libuv is a platform layer for node.js. Its purpose is to abstract IOCP on Windows and epoll/kqueue/event ports/etc. on Unix systems. We intend to eventually contain all platform differences in this library. Features: * Non-blocking TCP sockets * Non-blocking named pipes * UDP * Timers * Child process spawning * Asynchronous DNS via uv_getaddrinfo. * Asynchronous file system APIs uv_fs_* * High resolution time uv_hrtime * Current executable path look up uv_exepath * Thread pool scheduling uv_queue_work * ANSI escape code controlled TTY uv_tty_t * File system events using inotify, kqueue, event ports, FSEvents and ReadDirectoryChangesW * IPC and socket sharing between processes uv_write2 https://github.com/joyent/libuv/issues joyent/libuv
