Because it basically just encapsulates the Event Library, it is inconvenient to use. For example, accept(3) requires manual setnonblocking after connection. EAGAIN, EWOULDBLOCK, and EINTER need to be detected when reading from a socket. This is also the root reason why most people think that asynchronous programs are difficult to write.

Because when the callback is called, libuv guarantees that you have something to do, so handles like EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK are not programmers' jobs, and libuv will silently help you out.

+
+Libuv is slightly more complicated. We describe reading/writing two parts.
+
+When the interface is readable, libuv will call your allocate callback to apply for memory and write what it reads. When reading is complete, libuv will call the callback function you set for this socket, with the buffer information in the parameters. You only need to deal with this buffer and free it off. Because data is read from the buffer, the data is already ready when your callback is called, so programmers don't have to worry about blocking.
+
+The handling of writing is more clever. Libuv does not have a write callback. If you want to write something, just generate a write request and throw it to libuv along with the buffer you want to write. libuv will add your write request to the write queue of the corresponding socket and press it when I/O is writable. Write in sequence.
