32 /**
33    @file event2/bufferevent.h
34 
35   Functions for buffering data for network sending or receiving.  Bufferevents
36   are higher level than evbuffers: each has an underlying evbuffer for reading
37   and one for writing, and callbacks that are invoked under certain
38   circumstances.
39 
40   A bufferevent provides input and output buffers that get filled and
41   drained automatically.  The user of a bufferevent no longer deals
42   directly with the I/O, but instead is reading from input and writing
43   to output buffers.
44 
45   Once initialized, the bufferevent structure can be used repeatedly
46   with bufferevent_enable() and bufferevent_disable().
47 
48   When reading is enabled, the bufferevent will try to read from the
49   file descriptor onto its input buffer, and call the read callback.
50   When writing is enabled, the bufferevent will try to write data onto its
51   file descriptor when the output buffer has enough data, and call the write
52   callback when the output buffer is sufficiently drained.
53 
54   Bufferevents come in several flavors, including:
55 
56   <dl>
57     <dt>Socket-based bufferevents</dt>
58       <dd>A bufferevent that reads and writes data onto a network
59           socket. Created with bufferevent_socket_new().</dd>
60 
61     <dt>Paired bufferevents</dt>
62       <dd>A pair of bufferevents that send and receive data to one
63           another without touching the network.  Created with
64           bufferevent_pair_new().</dd>
65 
66     <dt>Filtering bufferevents</dt>
67        <dd>A bufferevent that transforms data, and sends or receives it
68           over another underlying bufferevent.  Created with
69           bufferevent_filter_new().</dd>
70 
71     <dt>SSL-backed bufferevents</dt>
72       <dd>A bufferevent that uses the openssl library to send and
73           receive data over an encrypted connection. Created with
74 	  bufferevent_openssl_socket_new() or
75 	  bufferevent_openssl_filter_new().</dd>
