arkio

arkio is a next-generation c++ io library, implementing async io-uring based kernel io.

This library is a modern C++ wrapper for the io interface of linux kernel. It provides async interface for kernel io, along with the sync ones. What's more, it supports C++20 Coroutines TS, too.

The async model is based on kernel's new io-uring interface, and implements the proactor design pattern.

The proactor design pattern demultiplexes and dispatches events asynchronously, and was made famous by Boost.ASIO in the c++ world. If you are familar with asio, then you will find this library very similar in some way. In fact, some parts of this library is coded to the standard draft asio is working on, which is called the Networking TS.
