/* Non-blocking I/O is an I/O mode by which read(), write() calls avoid
   blocking the current thread.  When non-blocking is enabled:
   - A read() call returns -1 with errno set to EAGAIN when no data or EOF
     information is immediately available.
   - A write() call returns -1 with errno set to EAGAIN when it cannot
     transport the requested amount of data (but at most one pipe buffer)
     without blocking.
   Non-blocking I/O is most useful for character devices, pipes, and sockets.
   Whether it also works on regular files and block devices is platform
   dependent.

   There are three modern alternatives to non-blocking I/O:
     - use select() or poll() followed by read() or write() if the descriptor
       is ready,
     - call read() or write() in separate threads,
     - use <aio.h> interfaces.  */

   flag for sockets.  */
