This is a library for accessing the new AIO system calls (asynchronous i/o) for the Linux kernel. It is a thin, state-keeping wrapper that conforms to the Single Unix Specification for aio_read, aio_write, aio_error, aio_return and aio_suspend functions, and also implements lio_listio and aio_reap for batch processing.

This library requires a kernel with the new AIO code and a recent version of the libaio userspace library.
