## This module allows high-level and efficient I/O multiplexing.
##
## Supported OS primitives: ``epoll``, ``kqueue``, ``poll`` and
## Windows ``select``.
##
## To use threadsafe version of this module, it needs to be compiled
## with both ``-d:threadsafe`` and ``--threads:on`` options.
##
## Supported features: files, sockets, pipes, timers, processes, signals
## and user events.
##
## Fully supported OS: MacOSX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux (except
## for Android).
##
## Partially supported OS: Windows (only sockets and user events),
## Solaris (files, sockets, handles and user events).
## Android (files, sockets, handles and user events).
##
## TODO: ``/dev/poll``, ``event ports`` and filesystem events.
