IO-Lite: 1998/1999
- uses immutable/read-only blocks of data
- assembles user data out of these blocks
via "buffer aggregates" which are
mainly ordered lists of <pointer,len> pairs
to the read-only buffers.
- uses an own user-land API dealing
with buffer aggregates instead of
continous buffers
- required kernel support (wants to
do page-remapping and copy-on-write)
for really optimized I/O
=> not directly useable for user-land I/O lib
wegen den Kernel-basierten Optis, aber die Idee der buffer aggregates
kann interessant sein.
