大多数程序员从阻塞IO调用开始学习。如果调用在操作完成之前，或者足够的时间已经流逝使得网络栈放弃操作之前，不会返回，那么就是异步的。比如说，在TCP连接上调用connect（）时，操作系统将一个SYN分组排队到TCP连接的另一端主机中。在收到来自对方主机的SYN ACK分组之前，或者直到足够的时间已经流逝而决定放弃操作之前，控制不会返回到应用程序。
这里有一个使用阻塞网络调用的简单客户端示例。它打开到www.google.com的连接，发送一个简单的HTTP请求，将响应打印到stdout。
/* For sockaddr_in */
#include <netinet/in.h>
/* For socket functions */
#include <sys/socket.h>
/* For gethostbyname */
#include <netdb.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int c, char **v)
{
const char query[] =
"GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n"
"Host: www.google.com\r\n"
"\r\n";
const char hostname[] = "www.google.com";
struct sockaddr_in sin;
struct hostent *h;
const char *cp;
int fd;
ssize_t n_written, remaining;
char buf[1024];
/* Look up the IP address for the hostname. Watch out; this isn't
threadsafe on most platforms. */
h = gethostbyname(hostname);
if (!h) {
fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't lookup %s: %s", hostname, hstrerror(h_errno));
return 1;
}
if (h->h_addrtype != AF_INET) {
fprintf(stderr, "No ipv6 support, sorry.");
return 1;
}
/* Allocate a new socket */
fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("socket");
return 1;
}
/* Connect to the remote host. */
sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
sin.sin_port = htons(80);
sin.sin_addr = *(struct in_addr*)h->h_addr;
if (connect(fd, (struct sockaddr*) &sin, sizeof(sin))) {
perror("connect");
close(fd);
return 1;
}
/* Write the query. */
/* XXX Can send succeed partially? */
cp = query;
remaining = strlen(query);
while (remaining) {
n_written = send(fd, cp, remaining, 0);
if (n_written <= 0) {
perror("send");
return 1;
}
remaining -= n_written;
cp += n_written;
}
/* Get an answer back. */
while (1) {
ssize_t result = recv(fd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0);
if (result == 0) {
break;
} else if (result < 0) {
perror("recv");
close(fd);
return 1;
}
fwrite(buf, 1, result, stdout);
}
close(fd);
return 0;
}
上述代码中的所有网络调用都是阻塞的：在成功解析www.google.com，或者解析失败之前，gethostbyname不会返回；连接建立之前connect不会返回；收到数据或者关闭之前recv调用不会返回；至少在清空输出缓冲区到内核的写缓冲区之前，send调用不会返回。
这里，阻塞IO没有什么不好的。如果没有其他事情需要同时进行，阻塞IO会工作得很好。但是考虑需要同时处理多个连接的情形。考虑一个具体的例子：需要从两个连接读取输入，但是不知道哪个连接将先收到输入。程序可能是这样的：
/* This won't work. */
char buf[1024];
int i, n;
while (i_still_want_to_read()) {
for (i=0; i<n_sockets; ++i) {
n = recv(fd[i], buf, sizeof(buf), 0);
if (n==0)
handle_close(fd[i]);
else if (n<0)
handle_error(fd[i], errno);
else
handle_input(fd[i], buf, n);
}
}
即使fd[2]上最先有数据到达，对fd[0]和fd[1]的读取操作取得一些数据并且完成之前，程序不会试图从fd[2]进行读取。
有时候用多线程或者多进程服务器来解决此问题。最简单的方式是用一个单独的进程（或者线程）处理每个连接。因为每个连接拥有独立的进程，一个连接上阻塞的IO调用不会阻塞其他任何连接的进程。
这里有另一个示例程序。它是一个简单的服务器，在端口47013上监听TCP连接，每次从其输入缓冲区读取一行，写回其ROT13混淆结果。程序使用fork（）调用为每个进入的连接创建一个新的进程。

是否有同时处理多个连接的完美解决方案？我可以停止编写本书，去做其他事情吗？不可以。首先，一些平台上进程创建（甚至线程创建）的开销是很大的。现实中你可能想用线程池代替创建新进程。然而，线程的扩展性根本达不到期望。如果需要同时处理成千上万个连接，处理上万个线程的效率并不比在每个CPU上使用少量线程高。
如果线程不是处理多个连接的答案，那么什么是呢？在Unix世界中，可以使用非阻塞套接字：
fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
这里fd是套接字的文件描述符。将fd（套接字）设置为非阻塞之后，对fd进行网络调用时，调用要么立即完成操作，要么返回一个特定的错误号，指示“现在不能进行操作，请重试”。这样，示例程序可以写作：
/* This will work, but the performance will be unforgivably bad. */
int i, n;
char buf[1024];
for (i=0; i < n_sockets; ++i)
fcntl(fd[i], F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
while (i_still_want_to_read()) {
for (i=0; i < n_sockets; ++i) {
n = recv(fd[i], buf, sizeof(buf), 0);
if (n == 0) {
handle_close(fd[i]);
} else if (n < 0) {
if (errno == EAGAIN)
; /* The kernel didn't have any data for us to read. */
else
handle_error(fd[i], errno);
} else {
handle_input(fd[i], buf, n);
}
}
}
使用非阻塞套接字，上述代码可以工作，但只是在很少的情况下。程序性能将很糟糕，原因有两个。首先，如果任何连接上都没有数据可读，循环还是会无限进行，消耗CPU时间。第二，如果用这种方式处理多于一两个连接，程序将为每个连接进行内核调用，不论连接上是否有数据。我们需要的是一种可以告诉内核“等待这些套接字中的某一个有数据可读，并且告知是哪一个”。
对于此问题，现在仍然使用的最老的解决方案是select（）。select（）调用要求三个fd集合（作为位数组实现）：一个用于读取，一个用于写入，一个用于异常。select（）将等待集合中的某个套接字就绪，并且修改集合，使之仅包含已经就绪的套接字。
这是使用select的相同示例：
/* If you only have a couple dozen fds, this version won't be awful */
fd_set readset;
int i, n;
char buf[1024];
while (i_still_want_to_read()) {
int maxfd = -1;
FD_ZERO(&readset);
/* Add all of the interesting fds to readset */
for (i=0; i < n_sockets; ++i) {
if (fd[i]>maxfd) maxfd = fd[i];
FD_SET(fd[i], &readset);
}
/* Wait until one or more fds are ready to read */
select(maxfd+1, &readset, NULL, NULL, NULL);
/* Process all of the fds that are still set in readset */
for (i=0; i < n_sockets; ++i) {
if (FD_ISSET(fd[i], &readset)) {
n = recv(fd[i], buf, sizeof(buf), 0);
if (n == 0) {
handle_close(fd[i]);
} else if (n < 0) {
if (errno == EAGAIN)
; /* The kernel didn't have any data for us to read. */
else
handle_error(fd[i], errno);
} else {
handle_input(fd[i], buf, n);
}
}
}
}

事情还没完。因为生成和读取select位数组所需的时间与用于select的最大fd成比例，所以当套接字个数增加时，select调用的开销将急剧增加。
不同的操作系统为select提供了不同的替代功能，包括poll、epoll、kqueue、evports和/dev/poll。这些函数的性能都比select高，而且除了poll之外，添加、删除套接字和通知套接字已经准备好IO的性能都是O（1）。
不幸的是，这些接口都不是标准的。Linux有epoll、BSD（包括Darwin）有kqueue、Solaris有evports和/dev/poll……，然而没有哪个操作系统有其他系统所拥有的调用。所以，如果想编写可移植的高性能异步应用，就需要一个封装所有这些接口的抽象，提供这些调用中性能最高的一个供使用。
这就是Libevent API最底层所做的事情。Libevent为各种select替代提供了一致的接口，使用所运行在的计算机上的最高效版本。
下面是另一个版本的异步ROT13服务器。这次用Libevent 2代替了select。注意fd_sets已经被抛弃：替代的是，将事件与结构体event_base关联或者断开关联，这可能是用select、poll、epoll或者kqueue实现的。

（代码需要注意的其他地方：使用evutil_socket_t代替int来代表套接字；调用evutil_make_socket_nonblocking来将套接字设置为异步的，而不是调用fcntl（O_NONBLOCK）。这使得代码兼容于Win32网络API）
使用是否便捷？（还有Windows呢？）
你可能注意到代码效率更高了，但是也更复杂了。使用fork的时候，（1）不需要为每个连接管理缓冲区：仅对每个进程使用一个单独的在栈上分配的缓冲区。（2）不需要显式跟踪每个套接字是否在读取或者写入：这隐藏在代码中了。（3）也不需要跟踪每个操作是否完成的结构体：只需要循环和栈变量。
此外，如果对Windows网络有很深的体验，你将认识到用于上述示例的时候，Libevent并不能取得优化的性能。在Windows上进行快速异步IO的方法不是使用select接口：而是使用IOCP。与其他快速网络API不同的是，IOCP不是在套接字已经准备好某种操作时通知程序，然后程序可以进行相应的操作。替代的是，程序告知Windows网络栈启动某网络操作，IOCP在操作完成时通知程序。
幸运的是，Libevent 2 的“bufferevent”接口解决了所有这些问题：它提供了让Libevent在Windows和Unix上都能够有效实现的接口，让程序编写更简单。
