# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on # the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make # exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to # leave one space after the ':'. |----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| libevent: Libevent libevent: libevent: The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function libevent: when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout libevent: has been reached. Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due to libevent: signals or regular timeouts. libevent: libevent: libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven libevent: network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch() libevent: and then add or remove events dynamically without having to change libevent: the event loop.
