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.

## Supported Platforms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Microsoft Windows operating systems since Windows XP sp2. It can be built
|
||
|
|
with either Visual Studio or MinGW.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Linux 2.6 and MacOS using the GCC toolchain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Solaris 121 and later using GCC toolchain.

|
## 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.

## uv_read_start(), uv_read_stop()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Originally we wanted to provide a asynchronous read function that was
|
||
|
|
similar to WSARecv().
