116 | If you want to take avdantage of kqueue (which often works properly for |

117 | sockets only) even though the default loop doesn't enable it, you can |
|
|
118 | I<embed> a kqueue loop into the default loop: running the default loop |
|
|
119 | will then also service the kqueue loop to some extent. See the example in |
|
|
120 | the section about embed watchers for an example on how to achieve that. |
