Asynchronous IO or non-blocking IO on OS/2?
« on: October 20, 2020, 09:24:10 am »
Is there any asynchronous I/O or non-blocking I/O on OS/2, like IOCP on Windows NT or EPOLL on Linux?

I've found libaio, libpoll-devel and (maybe related) libevent as RPM packages.

Thanks for your reply!
It seems that those libraries are just simulate async io or nonblocking io but not do async io or nonblocking io operation natively.

No clue what IOCP and EPOLL is but for async communication over COMx: I'm using bloatcom library. Probably from hobbes.
