+ These routines provide access to I/O in slave procs. Since the
+ I/O itself is done in a slave proc, other threads in the calling
+ proc can run while the calling thread waits for the I/O to complete.

+
+ <i>Ioproc</i> forks a new slave proc and returns a pointer to the <tt><font size=+1>Ioproc</font></tt>
+ associated with it. <i>Ioproc</i> uses <i>mallocz</i> and <i>proccreate</i>; if either
+ fails, it calls <i>sysfatal</i> rather than return an error.

+ <i>iosendfd</i>, <i>iosleep</i>, and <i>iowrite</i> execute the similarly named library
+ or system calls (see <a href="../man2/close.html"><i>close</i>(2)</a>, <a href="../man3/dial.html"><i>dial</i>(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/open.html"><i>open</i>(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/read.html"><i>read</i>(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/fcall.html"><i>fcall</i>(3)</a>,

+ <i>Iointerrupt</i> interrupts the call currently executing in the I/O

+ <i>Iocall</i> is a primitive that may be used to implement more slave
+ I/O routines. <i>Iocall</i> arranges for <i>op</i> to be called in <i>io</i>&#8217;s proc,
