| Description | 
                    This extension provides interface to the libeio library written by Marc Lehmann 
    <libeio at schmorp dot de>(see http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libeio.html). 
 
    Libeio is a an asynchronous I/O library. Features basically include 
    asynchronous versions of POSIX API(read, write, open, close, stat, unlink, 
    fdatasync, mknod, readdir etc.); sendfile (native on Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, 
    FreeBSD); readahead. libeio itself emulates the system calls, if they are not 
    available on specific(UNIX-like) platform. 
 
    Currently this extension supports GNU/Linux and BSD platforms only. But you can 
    try it on any UNIX OS. |
