libzev is a low level cross platform event loop inspired by io_uring.

It works as follow:

• You queue I/O operations
• You submit I/O operations in submission queue (SQ)
• You poll for completed operations in completion queue (CQ) and callbacks are executed

 libzev 
 +-----------------------------------------+ 
 queue poll

 operation submit completion 
+-----+ | +----+ +----+ +----+ | +-----+
| App +---|--->| SQ +------->| Io +------->| CQ +---|--->| App |
+-----+ | +----+ +----+ +----+ | +-----+
 | | 
 +-----------------------------------------+ 

My goal for libzev is to produce a production-quality, permissively licensed, io_uring like event loop library for Zig and C. It's main purpose is to enable parallelized I/O with a focus on usability and correctness.

If you want to contribute to libzev to add a feature or improve the code contact me at alexandre@negrel.dev, open an issue or make a pull request.
