-CamIO is a generic, high speed I/O interface designed to give programmers straightforward access to kernel bypass I/O at the along with regular I/O methods (files, sockets etc). CamIO is different to most interfaces in that memory management is done internally giving the library the ability to expose hadrware buffers directly to applications for very high-speed, low-latency I/O access.
