property bool IsAsync { bool get(); };public bool IsAsync { get; }member this.IsAsync : boolPublic ReadOnly Property IsAsync As BooleanProperty Value
true if the handle is configured for overlapped I/O on Windows. On Unix, true if the handle was configured as asynchronous in .NET 10 and earlier or has the O_NONBLOCK flag set in .NET 11 and later; otherwise, false.
Remarks
On Unix, starting in .NET 11, this property reflects whether the file descriptor has the O_NONBLOCK flag set. Regular files return false, even if opened with FileOptions.Asynchronous.
