libzev - Cross platform event loop.

libzev is a low level cross platform event loop inspired by io_uring.

It works as follow:

• You queue I/O operations
• You submit I/O operations in submission queue (SQ)
• You poll for completed operations in completion queue (CQ) and callbacks are executed

                             libzev                             
          +-----------------------------------------+           
        queue                                     poll          
         I/O                                       I/O          
      operation              submit             completion      
+-----+   |    +----+        +----+        +----+   |    +-----+
| App +---|--->| SQ +------->| Io +------->| CQ +---|--->| App |
+-----+   |    +----+        +----+        +----+   |    +-----+
          |                                         |           
          +-----------------------------------------+           

Goals

My goal for libzev is to produce a production-quality, permissively licensed, io_uring like event loop library for Zig and C. It's main purpose is to enable parallelized I/O with a focus on usability and correctness.
