1 The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function
2 when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout
3 has been reached.
4 Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due to signals or
5 regular timeouts.
7 Libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven
8 network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch()
9 and then add or remove events dynamically without having to change
10 the event loop.
