            The luv library contains a single Lua module referred to hereafter as `uv` for
            simplicity. This module consists mostly of functions with names corresponding to
            their original libuv versions. For example, the libuv function `uv_tcp_bind` has
            a luv version at `uv.tcp_bind`. Currently, only two non-function fields exists:
            `uv.constants` and `uv.errno`, which are tables.

            as `server:bind(host, port)`. Note that the first argument `server` becomes the
            object and `tcp_` is removed from the function name. Method forms are

            Functions that accept a callback are asynchronous. These functions may

            their final execution is deferred until at least the next libuv loop iteration.
            After completion, their callbacks are executed with any results passed to it.

            Functions that do not accept a callback are synchronous. These functions
            immediately return their results to the caller.

            Some (generally FS and DNS) functions can behave either synchronously or
            asynchronously. If a callback is provided to these functions, they behave
            asynchronously; if no callback is provided, they behave synchronously.

        However, luv also superficially exposes libuv constants in a Lua table at
        `uv.constants` where its keys are uppercase constant names and their associated
        values are integers defined internally by libuv. The values from this table may
        be supported as function arguments, but their use may not change the output
        type. For example:

        ```lua
        -- signal start with integer input
        uv.signal_start(uv.constants.SIGTERM, function(signame)
          print(signame) -- string output: "sigterm"
        end)
        ```

        The uppercase constants defined in `uv.constants` that have associated
        lowercase option strings are listed below.

        In libuv, errors are represented by negative numbered constants. While these
        constants are made available in the `uv.errno` table, they are not returned by
        luv functions and the libuv functions used to handle them are not exposed.
        Instead, if an internal error is encountered, the failing luv function will
        return to the caller an assertable `nil, err, name` tuple:

        - `nil` idiomatically indicates failure
        - `err` is a string with the format `{name}: {message}`
          - `{name}` is the error name provided internally by `uv_err_name`
          - `{message}` is a human-readable message provided internally by `uv_strerror`
        - `name` is the same string used to construct `err`

        This tuple is referred to below as the `fail` pseudo-type.

        When a function is called successfully, it will return either a value that is
        relevant to the operation of the function, or the integer `0` to indicate
        success, or sometimes nothing at all. These cases are documented below.

        Below is a list of known error names and error strings. See libuv's

        Poll handles are used to watch file descriptors for readability and writability,
        similar to the purpose of [poll(2)](http://linux.die.net/man/2/poll).

        The purpose of poll handles is to enable integrating external libraries that
        rely on the event loop to signal it about the socket status changes, like c-ares
        or libssh2. Using `uv_poll_t` for any other purpose is not recommended;
        `uv_tcp_t`, `uv_udp_t`, etc. provide an implementation that is faster and more
        scalable than what can be achieved with `uv_poll_t`, especially on Windows.

        It is possible that poll handles occasionally signal that a file descriptor is
        readable or writable even when it isn't. The user should therefore always be
        prepared to handle EAGAIN or equivalent when it attempts to read from or write
        to the fd.

        It is not okay to have multiple active poll handles for the same socket, this
        can cause libuv to busyloop or otherwise malfunction.

        The user should not close a file descriptor while it is being polled by an
        active poll handle. This can cause the handle to report an error, but it might
        also start polling another socket. However the fd can be safely closed
        immediately after a call to `uv.poll_stop()` or `uv.close()`.

        **Note**: On windows only sockets can be polled with poll handles. On Unix any
        file descriptor that would be accepted by poll(2) can be used.

        Signal handles implement Unix style signal handling on a per-event loop bases.

        **Windows Notes:**

        Reception of some signals is emulated on Windows:
          - SIGINT is normally delivered when the user presses CTRL+C. However, like on
          Unix, it is not generated when terminal raw mode is enabled.
          - SIGBREAK is delivered when the user pressed CTRL + BREAK.
          - SIGHUP is generated when the user closes the console window. On SIGHUP the
          program is given approximately 10 seconds to perform cleanup. After that
          Windows will unconditionally terminate it.
          - SIGWINCH is raised whenever libuv detects that the console has been resized.
          SIGWINCH is emulated by libuv when the program uses a uv_tty_t handle to write
          to the console. SIGWINCH may not always be delivered in a timely manner; libuv
          will only detect size changes when the cursor is being moved. When a readable
          [`uv_tty_t`][] handle is used in raw mode, resizing the console buffer will
          also trigger a SIGWINCH signal.
          - Watchers for other signals can be successfully created, but these signals
          are never received. These signals are: SIGILL, SIGABRT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV,
          SIGTERM and SIGKILL.
          - Calls to raise() or abort() to programmatically raise a signal are not
          detected by libuv; these will not trigger a signal watcher.

        **Unix Notes:**

          - SIGKILL and SIGSTOP are impossible to catch.
          - Handling SIGBUS, SIGFPE, SIGILL or SIGSEGV via libuv results into undefined
          behavior.
          - SIGABRT will not be caught by libuv if generated by abort(), e.g. through
          assert().
          - On Linux SIGRT0 and SIGRT1 (signals 32 and 33) are used by the NPTL pthreads
          library to manage threads. Installing watchers for those signals will lead to
          unpredictable behavior and is strongly discouraged. Future versions of libuv
          may simply reject them.

            datagram contract (works in unconnected mode, supports sendmsg()/recvmsg(),
            etc). In other words, other datagram-type sockets like raw sockets or netlink
            sockets can also be passed to this function.

            The file descriptor is set to non-blocking mode.

            Note: The passed file descriptor or SOCKET is not checked for its type, but
            it's required that it represents a valid datagram socket.

        Most file system functions can operate synchronously or asynchronously. When a synchronous version is called (by omitting a callback), the function will
        immediately return the results of the FS call. When an asynchronous version is
        called (by providing a callback), the function will immediately return a
        `uv_fs_t userdata` and asynchronously execute its callback; if an error is encountered, the first and only argument passed to the callback will be the `err` error string; if the operation completes successfully, the first argument will be `nil` and the remaining arguments will be the results of the FS call.

        Synchronous and asynchronous versions of `readFile` (with naive error handling)
        are implemented below as an example:

        ```lua
        local function readFileSync(path)
          local fd = assert(uv.fs_open(path, "r", 438))
          local stat = assert(uv.fs_fstat(fd))
          local data = assert(uv.fs_read(fd, stat.size, 0))
          assert(uv.fs_close(fd))
          return data
        end

        local data = readFileSync("main.lua")
        print("synchronous read", data)
        ```

        ```lua
        local function readFile(path, callback)
          uv.fs_open(path, "r", 438, function(err, fd)
            assert(not err, err)
            uv.fs_fstat(fd, function(err, stat)
              assert(not err, err)
              uv.fs_read(fd, stat.size, 0, function(err, data)
                assert(not err, err)
                uv.fs_close(fd, function(err)
                  assert(not err, err)
                  return callback(data)
                end)
              end)
            end)
          end)
        end

        readFile("main.lua", function(data)
          print("asynchronous read", data)
        end)
