Oh yeah I meant io_uring too. Plus Windows copied it so you can implement things very similarly for Windows.

Thanks for that, had no idea.

I've used IO Completion ports on Windows before, and found it to be pretty useful API but I guess this is also a useful addition.

Basically no good idea goes uncopied by Microsoft :)

Alas I have no idea from that what the lowest version of Windows that supports this API is though.

Build 22000 is Windows 10 21H2.
Is there something similar on macOS/iOS?
Kqueue! Not the same design or as flexible as io_uring though.
