IO同步,异步,阻塞,非阻塞.docVIP

同步（synchronous） IO和异步（asynchronous） IO，阻塞（blocking） IO和非阻塞（non-blocking）IO 先看一个较低的层次。如果从CPU的角度看，其实大部分的IO都是异步的：因为CPU启动这个IO操作后，就去干其它的事情了，一直到产生一个中断，告诉它IO完成了。“Most physical I/O is asynchronous—the CPU starts the transfer and goes off to do something else until the interrupt arrives. User programs are much easier to write if the I/O operations are blocking—after a read system call the program is automatically suspended until the data are available in the buffer. It is up to the operating system to make operations that are actually interrupt-driven look blocking to the user programs.” （引自 Modern
