Summary : Abstract asynchronous event notification library
URL : http://libevent.org/
License : BSD and ISC
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.
