@ -32,11 +32,9 @@ To wait for the next I/O event, the "async-io" thread uses [epoll] on Linux/Andr
[kqueue] on macOS/iOS/BSD, [event ports] on illumos/Solaris, and [wepoll] on Windows. That
functionality is provided by the [`polling`] crate.
However, note that you can also process I/O events and wake futures manually if using the
`parking` module. The "async-io" thread is therefore just a fallback mechanism processing I/O
events in case you forget to or choose not to do that manually.
See the `parking` module for more details.
However, note that you can also process I/O events and wake futures on any thread using the
`block_on()` function. The "async-io" thread is therefore just a fallback mechanism
processing I/O events in case no other threads are.
