If we are talking about aio_read() and company, these functions are available on at least FreeBSD, Irix, Solaris and Mac OS X too. I looked into this some years back and while I would say it is standard unix stuff, I do recall finding a few slight differences between platforms. FreeBSD required loading a kernel module (aio.ko IIRC) to use this, and if it wasn't loaded the program would just die horribly.
It can be wrapped as an OCaml module, but expect to put many #ifdef's in your C code.
Regards.
