NAME
intro - Introduction to asynchronous interfaces
DESCRIPTION
This section describes asynchronous interfaces.
Ansynchronous interfaces support device input, output, and control.
Providing an asynchronous interface allows a process to have many
operations active at once, increasing overall performance.
NOTES
Since these interfaces are not standard device drivers, no device files
are associated with the hardware they control. Refer to specific
asynchronous interface descriptions for information concerning hardware
access.
