sleepy_penguin provides access to newer, Linux-only system calls to wait
on events from traditionally non-I/O sources. Bindings to the eventfd,
timerfd, inotify, and epoll interfaces are provided. Experimental support
for kqueue on FreeBSD (and likely OpenBSD/NetBSD) is also provided.

Changes:
sleepy_penguin 3.5.0
Most notably, kevent and epoll_wait wrappers are now
nestable, so you can write your own event loops inside
somebody elses event loop (not that it's a good idea,
but hey, that's reality, sometimes).
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin/Kqueue.html#method-i-kevent
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin/Epoll.html#method-i-wait
For Linux users, there is now copy_file_range(2) support
for copying regular files:
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#method-c-copy_file_range
There is also a new sendfile wrapper which emulates Linux
sendfile behavior regardless of platform. It will use the
native sendfile(2) syscall on FreeBSD and Linux, at least.
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#method-c-linux_sendfile
Wrappers for the splice(2) and tee(2) syscalls also exist for
Linux users (vmsplice(2) is omitted):
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#method-c-splice
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#method-c-tee
Along with some related constants:
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#F_GETPIPE_SZ
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#F_SETPIPE_SZ
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#F_MORE
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#F_MOVE
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#F_NONBLOCK
In other words, this release merges the useful parts of the old
"io_splice" RubyGem: https://bogomips.org/ruby_io_splice/
Linux 4.5+ epoll users also get EPOLLEXCLUSIVE along existing
constants:
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin/Epoll.html#EXCLUSIVE
Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 support are both gone, Ruby 2.0.0+ is required
for keyword args, now(*).
31 changes since 3.4.1:
README: fix wording: are => is
TODO: add memfd item
epoll: allow :CLOEXEC instead of the long constant
note the epoll/io.rb file is only for Ruby 1.8
support the splice(2) and tee(2) syscalls
implement copy_file_range support for Linux 4.5+
doc: various URL updates (https)
unify rb_gc() handling for out-of-FD conditions
splice: clarification regarding tee() flags
pkg.mk: various updates from other projects
copy_file_range: use correct syscall numbers on x86/x86-64
new API for splice and tee
doc: remove references to IO#pipe_size accessor
remove PIPE_BUF constant definition
copy_file_range: move wrapper to Ruby for keyword arg handling
gemspec: use SPDX-compatible license specifier
implement linux_sendfile support
portability fixes for systems w/o splice, copy_file_range
tests: switch to test-unit
free buffer if pthread_setspecific fails
allow nestable TLS buffers within the same thread
drop unused Ruby 1.8 support code
epoll: add newline to Kernel#warn messages for atomicity
favor require_relative over require
epoll: add EPOLLEXCLUSIVE constant and documentation
kqueue: remove IO#autoclose= and 1.8-related checks
sp_copy: remove dummy 1.8 code for non-native threaded Ruby
build: remove build-time olddoc dependency
copy_file_range: add documentation
doc: tests and examples for changing pipe size in Linux
doc: avoid incorrect links to Epoll::IO
(*) Even ruby 2.1 is unsupported by ruby-core upstream;
but I could be prodded to re-add 1.9.3 support if
somebody really wants it...
