There are many more different cases in the real C code. For sockets, I remember it uses a timeout. For filesystem files, I think there is no such thing. > Can I mix sync IO and async IO in one function? In essence, there is no more sync I/O. Any input/output is potentially considered asynchronous. Launching multiple coroutines lets the programmer create several I/O operations that run asynchronously. Thus, the degree of asynchrony is equal to the number of coroutines. The code inside a coroutine creates the illusion of step-by-step sequential execution with no extra effort. Therefore, in this model the programmer writes less code and uses Promises less often. > if the server uses a mixed storage of SSDs and HDDs and I only want async io for the SSDs? How will PHP understand which type of storage it is dealing with?
