AioPlugin provides support for asynchronous IO event notification. When
an external IO event occurs, the event registration causes a Smalltalk
semaphore to be signaled. A process can wait on this semaphore, thereby
acting as an event handler for the external event.
Code for the plugin is at
http://www.squeaksource.com/AioPlugin.
For testing and examples, see class AioEventHandlerExample in package OSProcess,
and AioEventHandlerTestCase in OSProcess-Tests.
