config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBEVENT prompt "libevent.......................... Event notification library for event-driven network servers" tristate default m if CONFIG_DEVEL help 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. http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
