4 `Nikhil Marathe <https://nikhilism.com>`_ started writing this book one
|
|
|
5 afternoon (June 16, 2012) when he didn't feel like programming. He had recently
|
|
|
6 been stung by the lack of good documentation on libuv while working on
|
|
|
7 `node-taglib <https://github.com/nikhilm/node-taglib>`_. Although reference
|
|
|
8 documentation was present, there were no comprehensive tutorials. This book is
|
|
|
9 the output of that need and tries to be accurate. That said, the book may have
|
|
|
10 mistakes. Pull requests are encouraged.

12 Nikhil is indebted to Marc Lehmann's comprehensive `man page
|
|
|
13 <http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod>`_ about libev which
|
|
|
14 describes much of the semantics of the two libraries.
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 This book was made using `Sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org>`_ and `vim
|
|
|
17 <https://www.vim.org>`_.

20 In 2017 the libuv project incorporated the Nikhil's work into the official
|
|
|
21 documentation and it's maintained there henceforth.
