with the caveat that i haven't looked at the 2.0 code in many months, what you want is already supported. it's not a parameter to the i/o functions, it's an option you set on the underlying APR socket. now what that API actually looks like today (after the buckets and filters were added), i dunno. look for a setopt function.
