asynchronous event notification library - runtime library
Libuv is the asynchronous library behind Node.js. Very
similar to libevent or libev, it provides the main elements
for event driven systems: watching and waiting for
availability in a set of sockets, and some other events like
timers or asynchronous messages. However, libuv also comes
with some other extras like:
* files watchers and asynchronous operations
* a portable TCP and UDP API, as well as asynchronous DNS
resolution
* processes and threads management, and a portable
inter-process communications mechanism, with pipes and
work queues
* a plugins mechanism for loading libraries dynamically
* interface with external libraries that also need to access
the I/O.
