Introduction

uvw started as a header-only, event based, tiny and easy to use wrapper for libuv written in modern C++. Now it's finally available also as a compilable static library.

The basic idea is to hide completely the C-ish interface of libuv behind a graceful C++ API. Currently, no uv_*_t data structure is actually exposed by the library. Note that uvw stays true to the API of libuv and it doesn't add anything to its interface. For the same reasons, users of the library must follow the same rules which are used with libuv. As an example, a handle should be initialized before any other operation and closed once it is no longer in use.
