asynchronized I/O == multiplexing I/O?

Hello everyone,


I always see the two words -- asynchronized I/O and I/O multiplexing. Are they the same thing -- like select/poll?

I noticed that in some situations, people say they are different and asynchronized I/O is better than I/O multiplexing.

Could anyone help to clarify the differences between the two words?


thanks in advance,
George

A simple glance at your dictionary clears things right up, but here, I'll help:
