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. + +Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2) +and epoll(4). It also has experimental support for real-time signals. +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. + +WWW: http://www.xs4all.nl/~mmzeeman/ocaml/ + +-- lioux@FreeBSD.org |
