Gasync

The gasync (GIMX asynchronous) library is the evolution of the GE (GIMX events) library.
In addition to input devices, gasync also handles the following components:

• serial ports
• high-resolution timers
• USB devices
• HID devices

It also provides a default waiting interface based on poll on GNU/Linux and MsgWaitForMultipleObject on Windows.

GNU/Linux implementation

gpoll	ginput			gserial	gtimer	gusb	ghid *
poll	evdev	jsdev	X.Org Xi2	termios	timerfd	libusb

• ghid is not based on hidraw because write() does not support non-blocking mode.
  
• Being based on libusb, ghid claims the HID interface and detaches the kernel driver. guhid is a uhid wrapper to allow connecting the device back with the kernel.

Windows implementation

gpoll	ginput		gserial	gtimer	gusb	ghid
MsgWaitForMultipleObject	Raw Input	libSDL *	COM ports	Waitable Timers	libusb	HID API

• The libSDL events are processed synchronously.
