     1.4 +The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function
     1.5 +when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout
     1.6 +has been reached.

    1.10 +Libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven
    1.11 +network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch()
    1.12 +and then add or remove events dynamically without having to change
    1.13 +the event loop.
