+libaaio is a software library providing the functionality of getch(), getche()
+and kbhit() on Linux and UNIX systems (including Mac OS X). It does not
+require an initialization (like curses) and does not abuse the terminal (i.e.
+whenever the mode of the terminal is changed its state is stored so it can be
+restored).
+
+The software has not seen any changes since 2005, but remains useful for
+programs that still require it (e.g., beta releases of the Composer's Desktop
+Project tools).
