  15. >"Is this all a fluke?  Is there support (eg. a manual or commented header

  17.  
  18.  From my SunOS 4.1.2 kernel config file:
  19. #
  20. # The following two options are needed for asynchronous I/O.
  21. #
  22. options LWP             # kernel threads
  23. options ASYNCHIO        # asynch I/O (requires LWP)
  24.  
  25.  I've never found documentation on what those options are really good for.
  26. I would appreciate any info others might have.
