5 The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function
6 when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout
7 has been reached. Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due
8 to signals or regular timeouts.

10 libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven
11 network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch()
12 and then add or remove events dynamically without having to change
