filesystem operations vs socket operations within libuv
Raw
compare
The libuv filesystem operations are different from socket operations. Socket
operations use the non-blocking operations provided by the operating system.
Filesystem operations use blocking functions internally, but invoke these
functions in a thread pool and notify watchers registered with the event loop
when application interaction is required.
