148Linux 4.18 introduced another event polling interface, this time using
149the Linux AIO API. While this API is far superior to epoll and almost
150rivals kqueue, it also suffers from the same issues as kqueue typically
151does: only a subset of file types are supported (as of 4.19, I have seen
152eventfd, pipes, sockets files and some devices, but no ttys). It also
153is subject arbitrary system-wide limits imposed on it. Therefore, this
154backend is not used by default, even when it is compiled in, and you have
155to request it explicitly, e.g. with LIBEV_FLAGS=64. If unsure, accept the
156default.

171The previously mentioned Linux AIO backend is experimental and will not
172be used unless requested explicitly. You can, howeer, choose to make ti a
173recommended basckend, which means it will be chosen if available even when
174not explicitly asked for, in preference to epoll on GNU/Linux. This option
175is likely temporary. When unsure, accept the default.

325Very rarely, people want to tweak EV even more, e.g. to exclude

327extra -D options here, or via the EV_EXTRA_DEFS environment variable.
328
329For example, if you run into compile problems because of missing memory
330fences (or you just want extra performance), you can tell EV to not support
