libuv is a high-performance, multi-platform C library focusing on asynchronous I/O, originally developed for Node.js. It provides a consistent event-loop and I/O abstraction layer across a range of systems, making non-blocking operations portable and efficient. Full-featured event loop backed by epoll, kqueue, IOCP, event ports. Asynchronous TCP and UDP sockets. Asynchronous DNS resolution. Asynchronous file and file system operations. File system events, ANSI escape code-controlled TTY. IPC with socket sharing, using Unix domain sockets or named pipes (Windows).
