* Package name : libivykis Version : 0.26 (or another version upstream decides on) Upstream Author : Lennert Buytenhek <ivy...@wantstofly.org> * URL : https://github.com/buytenh/ivykis * License : LGPL2.1+ Programming Lang: C Description : library for asynchronous I/O readiness notification The ivykis library is a thin, portable wrapper around OS-provided mechanisms such as epoll(4), kqueue(2), poll(2) and select(2). It was mainly designed for building high-performance network applications, but can be used in any event-driver application that uses pollable file descriptors as its event sources. . Programs written to the ivykis API are generally single-threaded (or use only a small number of threads), and never block on I/O. All input and output is done in a nonblocking fashion, with I/O readiness notification delivered via callback functions. It is a required dependency of syslog-ng 3.3, which is currently shipping with an embedded, patched version. Work is under way to finish merging the two code-bases, which will make it feasible to upload a separate ivykis library package, and switch syslog-ng over to use the upstream library. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
