  1. llfio

    P1031 low level file i/o and filesystem library for the C++ standard

    There was an effort to get an afio library accepted into boost in the past. I believe the most current work on that library is happening here nowadays : https://github.com/ned14/llfio I'm not sure if it is considered production-ready or not. But I couldn't see any mention of it in the replies so I figured I would fix that!
