33   @section intro Introduction
34 
35   Libevent is an event notification library for developing scalable network
36   servers.  The Libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback
37   function when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a
38   timeout has been reached. Furthermore, Libevent also support callbacks due
39   to signals or regular timeouts.
40 
41   Libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven network
42   servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch() and then add or
43   remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.
44 
45 
46   Currently, Libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2),
47   epoll(4), and evports. The internal event mechanism is completely
48   independent of the exposed event API, and a simple update of Libevent can
49   provide new functionality without having to redesign the applications. As a
50   result, Libevent allows for portable application development and provides
51   the most scalable event notification mechanism available on an operating
52   system.  Libevent can also be used for multithreaded programs.  Libevent
53   should compile on Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris and, Windows.
54 
55   @section usage Standard usage
56 
57   Every program that uses Libevent must inclurde the <event2/event.h>
58   header, and pass the -levent flag to the linker.  (You can instead link
59   -levent_core if you only want the main event and buffered IO-based code,
60   and don't want to link any protocol code.)
61 
62   @section setup Library setup
63 
64   Before you call any other Libevent functions, you need to set up the
65   library.  If you're going to use Libevent from multiple threads in a
66   multithreaded application, you need to initialize thread support --
67   typically by using evthread_use_pthreads() or
68   evthread_use_windows_threads().  See <event2/thread.h> for more
69   information.
70 
71   This is also the point where you can replace Libevent's memory
72   management functions with event_set_mem_functions, and enable debug mode
73   with event_enable_debug_mode().
74 
75   @section base Creating an event base
76 
77   Next, you need to create an event_base structure, using event_base_new()
78   or event_base_new_with_config().  The event_base is responsible for
79   keeping track of which events are "pending" (that is to say, being
80   watched to see if they become active) and which events are "active".
81   Every event is associated with a single event_base.
82 
83   @section event Event notification
84 
85   For each file descriptor that you wish to monitor, you must create an
86   event structure with event_new().  (You may also declare an event
87   structure and call event_assign() to initialize the members of the
88   structure.)  To enable notification, you add the structure to the list
89   of monitored events by calling event_add().  The event structure must
90   remain allocated as long as it is active, so it should generally be
91   allocated on the heap.
92 
93   @section loop Dispaching evets.
94 
95   Finally, you call event_base_dispatch() to loop and dispatch events.
96   You can also use event_base_loop() for more fine-grained control.
97 
98   Currently, only one thread can be dispatching a given event_base at a
99   time.  If you want to run events in multiple threads at once, you can
100   either have a single event_base whose events add work to a work queue,
101   or you can create multiple event_base objects.
102 
103   @section bufferevent I/O Buffers
104 
105   Libevent provides a buffered I/O abstraction on top of the regular event
106   callbacks. This abstraction is called a bufferevent. A bufferevent
107   provides input and output buffers that get filled and drained
108   automatically. The user of a buffered event no longer deals directly
109   with the I/O, but instead is reading from input and writing to output
110   buffers.
111 
112   Once initialized via bufferevent_socket_new(), the bufferevent structure
113   can be used repeatedly with bufferevent_enable() and
114   bufferevent_disable().  Instead of reading and writing directly to a
115   socket, you would call bufferevent_read() and bufferevent_write().
116 
117   When read enabled the bufferevent will try to read from the file descriptor
118   and call the read callback. The write callback is executed whenever the
119   output buffer is drained below the write low watermark, which is 0 by
120   default.
121 
122   See <event2/bufferevent*.h> for more information.
123 
124   @section timers Timers
125 
126   Libevent can also be used to create timers that invoke a callback after a
127   certain amount of time has expired. The evtimer_new() function returns
128   an event struct to use as a timer. To activate the timer, call
129   evtimer_add(). Timers can be deactivated by calling evtimer_del().
130 
131   @section evdns Asynchronous DNS resolution
132 
133   Libevent provides an asynchronous DNS resolver that should be used instead
134   of the standard DNS resolver functions.  See the <event2/dns.h>
135   functions for more detail.
136 
137   @section evhttp Event-driven HTTP servers
138 
139   Libevent provides a very simple event-driven HTTP server that can be
140   embedded in your program and used to service HTTP requests.
141 
142   To use this capability, you need to include the <event2/http.h> header in your
143   program.  See that header for more information.
144 
145   @section evrpc A framework for RPC servers and clients
146 
147   Libevent provides a framework for creating RPC servers and clients.  It
148   takes care of marshaling and unmarshaling all data structures.

223 /**
224  * @struct event
225  *
226  * Structure to represent a single event.
227  *
228  * An event can have some underlying condition it represents: a socket
229  * becoming readable or writeable (or both), or a signal becoming raised.
230  * (An event that represents no underlying condition is still useful: you
231  * can use one to implement a timer, or to communicate between threads.)
232  *
233  * Generally, you can create events with event_new(), then make them
234  * pending with event_add().  As your event_base runs, it will run the
235  * callbacks of an events whose conditions are triggered.  When you
236  * longer want the event, free it with event_free().
237  *
238  * In more depth:
239  *
240  * An event may be "pending" (one whose condition we are watching),
241  * "active" (one whose condition has triggered and whose callback is about
242  * to run), neither, or both.  Events come into existence via
243  * event_assign() or event_new(), and are then neither active nor pending.
244  *
245  * To make an event pending, pass it to event_add().  When doing so, you
246  * can also set a timeout for the event.
247  *
248  * Events become active during an event_base_loop() call when either their
249  * condition has triggered, or when their timeout has elapsed.  You can
250  * also activate an event manually using event_active().  The even_base
251  * loop will run the callbacks of active events; after it has done so, it
252  * marks them as no longer active.
253  *
254  * You can make an event non-pending by passing it to event_del().  This
255  * also makes the event non-active.
256  *
257  * Events can be "persistent" or "non-persistent".  A non-persistent event
258  * becomes non-pending as soon as it is triggered: thus, it only runs at
259  * most once per call to event_add().  A persistent event remains pending
260  * even when it becomes active: you'll need to event_del() it manually in
261  * order to make it non-pending.  When a persistent event with a timeout
262  * becomes active, its timeout is reset: this means you can use persistent
263  * events to implement periodic timeouts.
264  *
265  * This should be treated as an opaque structure; you should never read or
266  * write any of its fields directly.  For backward compatibility with old
267  * code, it is defined in the event2/event_struct.h header; including this
268  * header may make your code incompatible with other versions of Libevent.

803   The function event_new() returns a new event that can be used in

805   arguments determine which conditions will trigger the event; the
806   callback and callback_arg arguments tell Libevent what to do when the
807   event becomes active.
808 
809   If events contains one of EV_READ, EV_WRITE, or EV_READ|EV_WRITE, then
810   fd is a file descriptor or socket that should get monitored for
811   readiness to read, readiness to write, or readiness for either operation
812   (respectively).  If events contains EV_SIGNAL, then fd is a signal
813   number to wait for.  If events contains none of those flags, then the
814   event can be triggered only by a timeout or by manual activation with
815   event_active(): In this case, fd must be -1.
816 
817   The EV_PERSIST flag can also be passed in the events argument: it makes
818   event_add() persistent until event_del() is called.
819 
820   The EV_ET flag is compatible with EV_READ and EV_WRITE, and supported
821   only by certain backends.  It tells Libevent to use edge-triggered
822   events.
823 
824   The EV_TIMEOUT flag has no effect here.
825 
826   It is okay to have multiple events all listening on the same fds; but
827   they must either all be edge-triggered, or all not be edge triggerd.
828 
829   When the event becomes active, the event loop will run the provided
830   callbuck function, with three arguments.  The first will be the provided
831   fd value.  The second will be a bitfield of the events that triggered:
832   EV_READ, EV_WRITE, or EV_SIGNAL.  Here the EV_TIMEOUT flag indicates

856   doesn't allocate memory itself: it requires that you have already
857   allocated a struct event, probably on the heap.  Doing this will
858   typically make your code depend on the size of the event structure, and
859   thereby create incompatibility with future versions of Libevent.
860 
861   The easiest way to avoid this problem is just to use event_new() and
862   event_free() instead.
863
