aio_write is for doing async aio. meaning you can ask the kernel to
move data for you from a memory location to a file descriptor while
you proceed on with doing other work. if you don't have any other
work to do then aio is probably just going to slow you down.
Now I am trying to implement a Proxy Server. I want to use asynchrounos I/O
so that
the Proxy Server can do other things than blocking on I/O operation. Is it a
good idea to
use aio_write or aio_read on Proxy Server ???
Thanks a lot
