- @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.
-
- @section api API Reference

-/**
- * @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.
