Description
Bindings to the Linux io_uring kernel IO interfaces. See https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/eio for a higher-level API using this.

README
ocaml-uring -- bindings to Linux io_uring
These are OCaml bindings for the Linux io_uring stack (an alternative to using syscalls such as select or epoll).
The Eio library provides a higher-level effects-based API that uses this library to implement its Linux backend, but ocaml-uring may be useful with single-core non-effects versions of OCaml too.
To use the library directly:
Call
Uring.createto initialise a ring.Add IO requests to the ring using functions such as
Uring.readv.Call
Uring.submitto notify the kernel of the new requests.Call
Uring.waitto wait until an operation is complete.
The tests directory contains some examples.
