  @section intro Introduction
36

37
  Libevent is an event notification library for developing scalable network
38
  servers.  The Libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback
39
  function when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a
40
  timeout has been reached. Furthermore, Libevent also support callbacks due
41
  to signals or regular timeouts.
42

43
  Libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven network
44
  servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch() and then add or
45
  remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.
46

47

48
  Currently, Libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2),
49
  epoll(4), and evports. The internal event mechanism is completely
50
  independent of the exposed event API, and a simple update of Libevent can
51
  provide new functionality without having to redesign the applications. As a
52
  result, Libevent allows for portable application development and provides
53
  the most scalable event notification mechanism available on an operating
54
  system.  Libevent can also be used for multithreaded programs.  Libevent
55
  should compile on Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris and, Windows.
56

57
  @section usage Standard usage
58

59
  Every program that uses Libevent must inclurde the <event2/event.h>
60
  header, and pass the -levent flag to the linker.  (You can instead link
61
  -levent_core if you only want the main event and buffered IO-based code,
62
  and don't want to link any protocol code.)
63

64
  @section setup Library setup
65

66
  Before you call any other Libevent functions, you need to set up the
67
  library.  If you're going to use Libevent from multiple threads in a
68
  multithreaded application, you need to initialize thread support --
69
  typically by using evthread_use_pthreads() or
70
  evthread_use_windows_threads().  See <event2/thread.h> for more
71
  information.
72

73
  This is also the point where you can replace Libevent's memory
74
  management functions with event_set_mem_functions, and enable debug mode
75
  with event_enable_debug_mode().
76

77
  @section base Creating an event base
78

79
  Next, you need to create an event_base structure, using event_base_new()
80
  or event_base_new_with_config().  The event_base is responsible for
81
  keeping track of which events are "pending" (that is to say, being
82
  watched to see if they become active) and which events are "active".
83
  Every event is associated with a single event_base.
84

85
  @section event Event notification
86

87
  For each file descriptor that you wish to monitor, you must create an
88
  event structure with event_new().  (You may also declare an event
89
  structure and call event_assign() to initialize the members of the
90
  structure.)  To enable notification, you add the structure to the list
91
  of monitored events by calling event_add().  The event structure must
92
  remain allocated as long as it is active, so it should generally be
93
  allocated on the heap.
94

95
  @section loop Dispaching evets.
96

97
  Finally, you call event_base_dispatch() to loop and dispatch events.
98
  You can also use event_base_loop() for more fine-grained control.
99

100
  Currently, only one thread can be dispatching a given event_base at a
101
  time.  If you want to run events in multiple threads at once, you can
102
  either have a single event_base whose events add work to a work queue,
103
  or you can create multiple event_base objects.
104

105
  @section bufferevent I/O Buffers
106

107
  Libevent provides a buffered I/O abstraction on top of the regular event
108
  callbacks. This abstraction is called a bufferevent. A bufferevent
109
  provides input and output buffers that get filled and drained
110
  automatically. The user of a buffered event no longer deals directly
111
  with the I/O, but instead is reading from input and writing to output
112
  buffers.
113

114
  Once initialized via bufferevent_socket_new(), the bufferevent structure
115
  can be used repeatedly with bufferevent_enable() and
116
  bufferevent_disable().  Instead of reading and writing directly to a
117
  socket, you would call bufferevent_read() and bufferevent_write().
118

119
  When read enabled the bufferevent will try to read from the file descriptor
120
  and call the read callback. The write callback is executed whenever the
121
  output buffer is drained below the write low watermark, which is 0 by
122
  default.
123

124
  See <event2/bufferevent*.h> for more information.
125

126
  @section timers Timers
127

128
  Libevent can also be used to create timers that invoke a callback after a
129
  certain amount of time has expired. The evtimer_new() function returns
130
  an event struct to use as a timer. To activate the timer, call
131
  evtimer_add(). Timers can be deactivated by calling evtimer_del().
132

133
  @section evdns Asynchronous DNS resolution
134

135
  Libevent provides an asynchronous DNS resolver that should be used instead
136
  of the standard DNS resolver functions.  See the <event2/dns.h>
137
  functions for more detail.
138

139
  @section evhttp Event-driven HTTP servers
140

141
  Libevent provides a very simple event-driven HTTP server that can be
142
  embedded in your program and used to service HTTP requests.
143

144
  To use this capability, you need to include the <event2/http.h> header in your
145
  program.  See that header for more information.
146

147
  @section evrpc A framework for RPC servers and clients
148

149
  Libevent provides a framework for creating RPC servers and clients.  It
150
  takes care of marshaling and unmarshaling all data structures.

/**

224
 * Structure to represent a single event.
225
 *
226
 * An event can have some underlying condition it represents: a socket
227
 * becoming readable or writeable (or both), or a signal becoming raised.
228
 * (An event that represents no underlying condition is still useful: you
229
 * can use one to implement a timer, or to communicate between threads.)
230
 *
231
 * Generally, you can create events with event_new(), then make them
232
 * pending with event_add().  As your event_base runs, it will run the
233
 * callbacks of an events whose conditions are triggered.  When you
234
 * longer want the event, free it with event_free().
235
 *
236
 * In more depth:
237
 *
238
 * An event may be "pending" (one whose condition we are watching),
239
 * "active" (one whose condition has triggered and whose callback is about
240
 * to run), neither, or both.  Events come into existence via
241
 * event_assign() or event_new(), and are then neither active nor pending.
242
 *
243
 * To make an event pending, pass it to event_add().  When doing so, you
244
 * can also set a timeout for the event.
245
 *
246
 * Events become active during an event_base_loop() call when either their
247
 * condition has triggered, or when their timeout has elapsed.  You can
248
 * also activate an event manually using event_active().  The even_base
249
 * loop will run the callbacks of active events; after it has done so, it
250
 * marks them as no longer active.
251
 *
252
 * You can make an event non-pending by passing it to event_del().  This
253
 * also makes the event non-active.
254
 *
255
 * Events can be "persistent" or "non-persistent".  A non-persistent event
256
 * becomes non-pending as soon as it is triggered: thus, it only runs at
257
 * most once per call to event_add().  A persistent event remains pending
258
 * even when it becomes active: you'll need to event_del() it manually in
259
 * order to make it non-pending.  When a persistent event with a timeout
260
 * becomes active, its timeout is reset: this means you can use persistent
261
 * events to implement periodic timeouts.
262
 *
263
 * This should be treated as an opaque structure; you should never read or
264
 * write any of its fields directly.  For backward compatibility with old
265
 * code, it is defined in the event2/event_struct.h header; including this
266
 * header may make your code incompatible with other versions of Libevent.

799
  arguments determine which conditions will trigger the event; the
800
  callback and callback_arg arguments tell Libevent what to do when the
801
  event becomes active.
802

803
  If events contains one of EV_READ, EV_WRITE, or EV_READ|EV_WRITE, then
804
  fd is a file descriptor or socket that should get monitored for
805
  readiness to read, readiness to write, or readiness for either operation
806
  (respectively).  If events contains EV_SIGNAL, then fd is a signal
807
  number to wait for.  If events contains none of those flags, then the
808
  event can be triggered only by a timeout or by manual activation with
809
  event_active(): In this case, fd must be -1.
810

811
  The EV_PERSIST flag can also be passed in the events argument: it makes
812
  event_add() persistent until event_del() is called.
813

814
  The EV_ET flag is compatible with EV_READ and EV_WRITE, and supported
815
  only by certain backends.  It tells Libevent to use edge-triggered
816
  events.
817

818

  It is okay to have multiple events all listening on the same fds; but
821
  they must either all be edge-triggered, or all not be edge triggerd.
822

823
  When the event becomes active, the event loop will run the provided

  callbuck function, with three arguments.  The first will be the provided

  fd value.  The second will be a bitfield of the events that triggered:
826
  EV_READ, EV_WRITE, or EV_SIGNAL.  Here the EV_TIMEOUT flag indicates

848
  The function event_assign() prepares the event structure ev to be used
849
  in future calls to event_add() and event_del().  Unlike event_new(), it
850
  doesn't allocate memory itself: it requires that you have already
851
  allocated a struct event, probably on the heap.  Doing this will
852
  typically make your code depend on the size of the event structure, and
853
  thereby create incompatibility with future versions of Libevent.
854

855
  The easiest way to avoid this problem is just to use event_new() and
856
  event_free() instead.
857

858
  A slightly harder way to future-proof your code is to use
