Description: an event notification library
 .
 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_dispatch() and then add or
 remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.
 .
 Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), event ports, select(2),
 poll(2) and epoll(4). 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 multi-threaded applications; see Steven Grimm's explanation.
