This is the new networking layer for Node. Its purpose is to abstract
|
|
|
|
|
IOCP on windows and libev on Unix systems. We intend to eventually contain
|
|
|
|
|
all platform differences in this library.

## Design
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The goal of this library is to provide high-concurrency high-performance I/O
|
|
|
|
|
on all operating systems. This is a large undertaking. Some of the API
|
|
|
|
|
decisions may seem arbitrary but are actually borne out of various specific
|
|
|
|
|
platform issues.

Originally we wanted to provide a asynchronous read function that was
|

|
|
|
similar to WSARecv().
