  @section intro Introduction

  Libevent is an event notification library for developing scalable network
  servers.  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. Furthermore, Libevent also support callbacks due
  to signals or regular timeouts.

  Libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven network
  servers. An application just needs to call event_base_dispatch() and then add or
  remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.


  Currently, Libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2),
  epoll(4), and evports. The internal event mechanism is completely
  independent of the exposed event API, and a simple update of Libevent can
  provide new functionality without having to redesign the applications. As a
  result, Libevent allows for portable application development and provides
  the most scalable event notification mechanism available on an operating
  system.  Libevent can also be used for multithreaded programs.  Libevent
  should compile on Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris and, Windows.

  @section usage Standard usage

  Every program that uses Libevent must include the <event2/event.h>
  header, and pass the -levent flag to the linker.  (You can instead link
  -levent_core if you only want the main event and buffered IO-based code,
  and don't want to link any protocol code.)

  @section setup Library setup

  Before you call any other Libevent functions, you need to set up the
  library.  If you're going to use Libevent from multiple threads in a
  multithreaded application, you need to initialize thread support --
  typically by using evthread_use_pthreads() or
  evthread_use_windows_threads().  See <event2/thread.h> for more
  information.

  This is also the point where you can replace Libevent's memory
  management functions with event_set_mem_functions, and enable debug mode
  with event_enable_debug_mode().

  @section base Creating an event base

  Next, you need to create an event_base structure, using event_base_new()
  or event_base_new_with_config().  The event_base is responsible for
  keeping track of which events are "pending" (that is to say, being
  watched to see if they become active) and which events are "active".
  Every event is associated with a single event_base.

  @section event Event notification

  For each file descriptor that you wish to monitor, you must create an
  event structure with event_new().  (You may also declare an event
  structure and call event_assign() to initialize the members of the
  structure.)  To enable notification, you add the structure to the list
  of monitored events by calling event_add().  The event structure must
  remain allocated as long as it is active, so it should generally be
  allocated on the heap.

  @section loop Dispatching events.

  Finally, you call event_base_dispatch() to loop and dispatch events.
  You can also use event_base_loop() for more fine-grained control.

  Currently, only one thread can be dispatching a given event_base at a
  time.  If you want to run events in multiple threads at once, you can
  either have a single event_base whose events add work to a work queue,
  or you can create multiple event_base objects.

  @section bufferevent I/O Buffers

  Libevent provides a buffered I/O abstraction on top of the regular event
  callbacks. This abstraction is called a bufferevent. A bufferevent
  provides input and output buffers that get filled and drained
  automatically. The user of a buffered event no longer deals directly
  with the I/O, but instead is reading from input and writing to output
  buffers.

  Once initialized via bufferevent_socket_new(), the bufferevent structure
  can be used repeatedly with bufferevent_enable() and
  bufferevent_disable().  Instead of reading and writing directly to a
  socket, you would call bufferevent_read() and bufferevent_write().

  When read enabled the bufferevent will try to read from the file descriptor
  and call the read callback. The write callback is executed whenever the
  output buffer is drained below the write low watermark, which is 0 by
  default.

  See <event2/bufferevent*.h> for more information.

  @section timers Timers

  Libevent can also be used to create timers that invoke a callback after a
  certain amount of time has expired. The evtimer_new() macro returns
  an event struct to use as a timer. To activate the timer, call
  evtimer_add(). Timers can be deactivated by calling evtimer_del().
  (These macros are thin wrappers around event_new(), event_add(),
  and event_del(); you can also use those instead.)

  @section evdns Asynchronous DNS resolution

  Libevent provides an asynchronous DNS resolver that should be used instead
  of the standard DNS resolver functions.  See the <event2/dns.h>
  functions for more detail.

  @section evhttp Event-driven HTTP servers

  Libevent provides a very simple event-driven HTTP server that can be
  embedded in your program and used to service HTTP requests.

  To use this capability, you need to include the <event2/http.h> header in your
  program.  See that header for more information.

  @section evrpc A framework for RPC servers and clients

  Libevent provides a framework for creating RPC servers and clients.  It
  takes care of marshaling and unmarshaling all data structures.

/**
 * @struct event
 *
 * Structure to represent a single event.
 *
 * An event can have some underlying condition it represents: a socket
 * becoming readable or writeable (or both), or a signal becoming raised.
 * (An event that represents no underlying condition is still useful: you
 * can use one to implement a timer, or to communicate between threads.)
 *
 * Generally, you can create events with event_new(), then make them
 * pending with event_add().  As your event_base runs, it will run the
 * callbacks of an events whose conditions are triggered.  When you
 * longer want the event, free it with event_free().
 *
 * In more depth:
 *
 * An event may be "pending" (one whose condition we are watching),
 * "active" (one whose condition has triggered and whose callback is about
 * to run), neither, or both.  Events come into existence via
 * event_assign() or event_new(), and are then neither active nor pending.
 *
 * To make an event pending, pass it to event_add().  When doing so, you
 * can also set a timeout for the event.
 *
 * Events become active during an event_base_loop() call when either their
 * condition has triggered, or when their timeout has elapsed.  You can
 * also activate an event manually using event_active().  The even_base
 * loop will run the callbacks of active events; after it has done so, it
 * marks them as no longer active.
 *
 * You can make an event non-pending by passing it to event_del().  This
 * also makes the event non-active.
 *
 * Events can be "persistent" or "non-persistent".  A non-persistent event
 * becomes non-pending as soon as it is triggered: thus, it only runs at
 * most once per call to event_add().  A persistent event remains pending
 * even when it becomes active: you'll need to event_del() it manually in
 * order to make it non-pending.  When a persistent event with a timeout
 * becomes active, its timeout is reset: this means you can use persistent
 * events to implement periodic timeouts.
 *
 * This should be treated as an opaque structure; you should never read or
 * write any of its fields directly.  For backward compatibility with old
 * code, it is defined in the event2/event_struct.h header; including this
 * header may make your code incompatible with other versions of Libevent.

  If events contains one of EV_READ, EV_WRITE, or EV_READ|EV_WRITE, then
  fd is a file descriptor or socket that should get monitored for
  readiness to read, readiness to write, or readiness for either operation
  (respectively).  If events contains EV_SIGNAL, then fd is a signal
  number to wait for.  If events contains none of those flags, then the
  event can be triggered only by a timeout or by manual activation with
  event_active(): In this case, fd must be -1.

  The EV_PERSIST flag can also be passed in the events argument: it makes
  event_add() persistent until event_del() is called.

  The EV_ET flag is compatible with EV_READ and EV_WRITE, and supported
  only by certain backends.  It tells Libevent to use edge-triggered
  events.

  The EV_TIMEOUT flag has no effect here.

  callbuck function, with three arguments.  The first will be the provided

  EV_READ, EV_WRITE, or EV_SIGNAL.  Here the EV_TIMEOUT flag indicates

  The function event_assign() prepares the event structure ev to be used

  doesn't allocate memory itself: it requires that you have already
  allocated a struct event, probably on the heap.  Doing this will
  typically make your code depend on the size of the event structure, and
  thereby create incompatibility with future versions of Libevent.

  The easiest way to avoid this problem is just to use event_new() and
  event_free() instead.

  A slightly harder way to future-proof your code is to use
  event_get_struct_event_size() to determine the required size of an event
  at runtime.

  Note that it is NOT safe to call this function on an event that is
  active or pending.  Doing so WILL corrupt internal data structures in

   it will definitely not be running its callback when you deallocate it
   and its callback argument.

   To do this, call one of event_finalize() or event_free_finalize with

   and a callback function as its third argument.  The callback will be

   Libevent's default scheduling algorithm is optimized for having a large

   the same duration (for example, if you have a large number of

   Libevent's performance by telling Libevent about it.

   To do this, call this function with the common duration.  It will return a
   pointer to a different, opaque timeout value.  (Don't depend on its actual
   contents!)  When you use this timeout value in event_add(), Libevent will
   schedule the event more efficiently.

   (This optimization probably will not be worthwhile until you have thousands

 replacement functions rather than by malloc() and realloc().  Thus, if you

 that you get from Libevent.  Instead, you must use the free_fn replacement
 that you provided.

 Note also that if you are going to call this function, you should do so
 before any call to any Libevent function that does allocation.
 Otherwise, those funtions will allocate their memory using malloc(), but
 then later free it using your provided free_fn.
