= kgio - kinder, gentler I/O for Ruby

kgio provides non-blocking I/O methods for Ruby without raising
exceptions on EAGAIN and EINPROGRESS.  It is intended for use with the
Unicorn and Rainbows! Rack servers, but may be used by other
applications.

== Features

* Can avoid expensive exceptions on common EAGAIN/EINPROGRESS errors,
  returning :wait_readable or :wait_writable instead.
  These exceptions got more expensive to hit under Ruby 1.9.2
  (but should be fixed in Ruby 1.9.3 to 1.9.1 performance levels)

* Returns the unwritten portion of the string on partial writes,
  making it ideal for buffering unwritten data.

* May call any method defined to be "kgio_wait_writable" or
  "kgio_wait_readable" methods to allow socket/pipe objects to make custom
  callbacks (such as adding the file descriptor to a poll set and yielding
  the current Fiber).

* Uses
  {accept4}[http://kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/accept4.2.html]
  on new GNU/Linux systems to avoid unnecessary fcntl() calls

* Uses MSG_DONTWAIT on GNU/Linux to further avoid unnecessary fcntl() calls

* Compatible with existing Ruby IO objects and Ruby threading.

== Install

The library consists of a C extension so you'll need a C compiler
and Ruby development libraries/headers.

You may download the tarball from the Mongrel project page on Rubyforge
and run setup.rb after unpacking it:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=8977

You may also install it via RubyGems.org:

  gem install kgio

You can get the latest source via git from the following locations
(these versions may not be stable):

  git://git.bogomips.org/kgio.git
  git://repo.or.cz/kgio.git (mirror)

You may browse the code from the web and download the latest snapshot
tarballs here:

* http://git.bogomips.org/cgit/kgio.git (cgit)
* http://repo.or.cz/w/kgio.git (gitweb)

See the HACKING guide on how to contribute and build prerelease gems
from git.
