- Hi! How do I do asynchronous I/O on Linux? I would expect to do a
- FASYNC fcntl call (well, the FASYNC flag of F_SETFL using fcntl), but
- that doesn't seem to be defined in the Linux headers. Also, comments
- in the header files seem to indicate that SIGIO is not handled and it
- is not expected to be added. Is this true?
