Install: brew install liburing

About:
Liburing provides simple helper functions to manage the setup and teardown of io_uring instances, significantly reducing boilerplate code for developers. It abstracts the complexities of the underlying kernel interface, allowing for efficient asynchronous I/O operations. This library is essential for building high-performance applications on Linux.

Key Features:

Simplified io_uring setup and teardown
Reduced boilerplate for async I/O
Efficient kernel interface abstraction
Lightweight C library

Use Cases:

Developing high-performance network servers
Building efficient asynchronous file processing tools
Optimizing I/O-bound applications on Linux

Alternatives:

libaio – Traditional Linux AIO, which has limitations compared to the more modern and performant io_uring interface.
Boost.Asio – A cross-platform C++ library that offers a higher-level abstraction but is heavier than the direct liburing wrapper.
