//! POSIX Asynchronous I/O
//!
//! The POSIX AIO interface is used for asynchronous I/O on files and disk-like
//! devices.  It supports [`read`](struct.AioCb.html#method.read),
//! [`write`](struct.AioCb.html#method.write), and
//! [`fsync`](struct.AioCb.html#method.fsync) operations.  Completion
//! notifications can optionally be delivered via
//! [signals](../signal/enum.SigevNotify.html#variant.SigevSignal), via the
//! [`aio_suspend`](fn.aio_suspend.html) function, or via polling.  Some
//! platforms support other completion
//! notifications, such as
//! [kevent](../signal/enum.SigevNotify.html#variant.SigevKevent).
//!
//! Multiple operations may be submitted in a batch with
//! [`lio_listio`](fn.lio_listio.html), though the standard does not guarantee
//! that they will be executed atomically.
//!
//! Outstanding operations may be cancelled with
