I/O multiplexing is a technique used in computing to efficiently manage multiple input/output operations by allowing a single process to monitor multiple file descriptors, waiting for any one of them to become ready for some class of I/O operation. This is crucial for building scalable network servers and applications that need to handle numerous simultaneous connections without blocking the execution of the program.

Input/output operations are essential processes in computing that facilitate the communication between a computer system and the external environment, including users and other systems. They are crucial for data exchange, enabling systems to receive input data for processing and deliver output results for further use or interpretation.
