3 The Linux-native asynchronous I/O facility ("async I/O", or "aio") has a
4 richer API and capability set than the simple POSIX async I/O facility.
5 This library, libaio, provides the Linux-native API for async I/O.
6 The POSIX async I/O facility requires this library in order to provide
7 kernel-accelerated async I/O capabilities, as do applications which
8 require the Linux-native async I/O API.
