Exploring Unix I/O Models

The five models range from most blocking to least, and from lowest to highest efficiency: Blocking I/O: Traditional model. Non-blocking I/O: Different from Java NIO (New IO). I/O Multiplexing: Reactor pattern; uses selectors like Linux's epoll. Signal-driven I/O. Asynchronous I/O: Proactor pattern, also known as non-blocking asynchronous I/O. ...
