+/* Non-blocking I/O is an I/O mode by which read(), write() calls avoid
+   blocking the current thread.  When non-blocking is enabled:
+   - A read() call returns -1 with errno set to EAGAIN when no data or EOF
+     information is immediately available.
+   - A write() call returns -1 with errno set to EAGAIN when it cannot
+     transport the requested amount of data (but at most one pipe buffer)
+     without blocking.
+   Non-blocking I/O is most useful for character devices, pipes, and sockets.
+   Whether it also works on regular files and block devices is platform
+   dependent.
+
+   There are three modern alternatives to non-blocking I/O:
+     - use select() or poll() followed by read() or write() if the descriptor
+       is ready,
+     - call read() or write() in separate threads,
+     - use <aio.h> interfaces.  */
