Hi,

Sorry for late reply, I was on vacation.

You can you booster::aio and specifically booster::aio::socket for such purpose,
it is similar to Boost.Asio, but unlike most of other Booster code it has
incompatible/different API.

It is not fully documented yet, but you can see as examples of the code 
many places where socket is used and ask me.

Note, it is likely that booster::aio would be changed before the stable release,
mostly booster::aio::socket would be separated to 
acceptor/basic_socket/stream_socket etc.
