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.create
to initialise a ring. - Add IO requests to the ring using functions such as
Uring.readv
. - Call
Uring.submit
to notify the kernel of the new requests. - Call
Uring.wait
to wait until an operation is complete.
The tests
directory contains some examples.
