The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function when
|
|
a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been
|
|
reached. Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due to signals or
|
|
regular timeouts.
|
|
|
|
libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven network
|
|
servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch() and then add
|
|
or remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.
|
|
|
|
Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), event ports, select(2),
|
|
poll(2) and epoll(4). The internal event mechanism is completely independent
|
|
of the exposed event API, and a simple update of libevent can provide new
|
|
functionality without having to redesign the applications. As a result,
|
|
Libevent allows for portable application development and provides the most
|
|
scalable event notification mechanism available on an operating system.
|
|
Libevent can also be used for multi-threaded applications.
