- Non-blocking TCP sockets
- Non-blocking named pipes
- UDP support (including multicast)
- Timers
- Child process spawning
- Asynchronous DNS resolution (getaddrinfo)
- Asynchronous file system APIs
- High resolution time
- System memory information
- System CPUs information
- Network interfaces information
- Thread pool scheduling
- ANSI escape code controlled TTY
- File system events (inotify style and stat based)
- IPC and TCP socket sharing between processes
- Arbitrary file descriptor polling
- Thread synchronization primitives
