6ABOUT LIBEVENT
7--------------
8
9The `libevent` API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function when a
10specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
11Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due to *signals* or regular
12*timeouts*.
13
14`libevent` is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven network
15servers. An application just needs to call `event_dispatch()` and then add or
16remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.
