You're right with this comment. There have been times when I would have benefitted by looking at a library's code even when it didn't fit what I was trying to do.

What libraries do you recommend to replace async io system calls in C?

The libevent family of libraries -- libevent, libev, libuv.

check out libev: http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html

scales well, has a decent API.
