Loaded plugins: ovl, priorities
Available Packages
Name : libevent
Arch : i686
Version : 2.0.21
Release : 4.amzn2.0.3
Size : 226 k
Repo : amzn2-core/2/x86_64
Summary : Abstract asynchronous event notification library
URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/levent/
License : BSD
Description : 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. libevent is meant to replace the
: asynchronous event loop found in event driven network servers. An
: application just needs to call event_dispatch() and can then add
: or remove events dynamically without having to change the event
: loop.
