NOTICE: This package has been removed from pkgsrc./
wip/libevent,
Asynchronous event notification library
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 1.4.3,
Package name: libevent-1.4.3,
Maintainer: pkgsrc-usersThe 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.
libevent is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in event
driven network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch()
and can then add or remove events dynamically without having to change the
event loop.
Currently, libevent supports kqueue(2) and select(2). Support for poll(2)
and /dev/poll is planned. The internal event mechanism is completely
independent of the exposed event API, and a simple update of libevent can
provide this new functionality without having to redesign the server
applications.
