The Libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback 37 function when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a 38 timeout has been reached. Furthermore, Libevent also support callbacks due 39 to signals or regular timeouts. 40 41 Libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven network 42 servers. An application just needs to call event_base_dispatch() and then add or 43 remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop. 44 45 46 Currently, Libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2), 47 epoll(4), and evports. The internal event mechanism is completely 48 independent of the exposed event API, and a simple update of Libevent can 49 provide new functionality without having to redesign the applications. As a 50 result, Libevent allows for portable application development and provides 51 the most scalable event notification mechanism available on an operating 52 system. Libevent can also be used for multithreaded programs. Libevent 53 should compile on Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris and, Windows. 54 55 @section usage Standard usage 56 57 Every program that uses Libevent must include the <event2/event.h> 58 header, and pass the -levent flag to the linker. (You can instead link 59 -levent_core if you only want the main event and buffered IO-based code, 60 and don't want to link any protocol code.) 61 62 @section setup Library setup 63 64 Before you call any other Libevent functions, you need to set up the 65 library. If you're going to use Libevent from multiple threads in a 66 multithreaded application, you need to initialize thread support -- 67 typically by using evthread_use_pthreads() or 68 evthread_use_windows_threads(). See <event2/thread.h> for more 69 information. 70 71 This is also the point where you can replace Libevent's memory 72 management functions with event_set_mem_functions, and enable debug mode 73 with event_enable_debug_mode(). 74 75 @section base Creating an event base 76 77 Next, you need to create an event_base structure, using event_base_new() 78 or event_base_new_with_config(). The event_base is responsible for 79 keeping track of which events are "pending" (that is to say, being 80 watched to see if they become active) and which events are "active". 81 Every event is associated with a single event_base. 82 83 @section event Event notification 84 85 For each file descriptor that you wish to monitor, you must create an 86 event structure with event_new(). (You may also declare an event 87 structure and call event_assign() to initialize the members of the 88 structure.) To enable notification, you add the structure to the list 89 of monitored events by calling event_add(). The event structure must 90 remain allocated as long as it is active, so it should generally be 91 allocated on the heap. 92 93 @section loop Dispatching events. 94 95 Finally, you call event_base_dispatch() to loop and dispatch events. 96 You can also use event_base_loop() for more fine-grained control. 97 98 Currently, only one thread can be dispatching a given event_base at a 99 time. If you want to run events in multiple threads at once, you can 100 either have a single event_base whose events add work to a work queue, 101 or you can create multiple event_base objects. 102 103 @section bufferevent I/O Buffers 104 105 Libevent provides a buffered I/O abstraction on top of the regular event 106 callbacks. This abstraction is called a bufferevent. A bufferevent 107 provides input and output buffers that get filled and drained 108 automatically. The user of a buffered event no longer deals directly 109 with the I/O, but instead is reading from input and writing to output 110 buffers. 111 112 Once initialized via bufferevent_socket_new(), the bufferevent structure 113 can be used repeatedly with bufferevent_enable() and 114 bufferevent_disable(). Instead of reading and writing directly to a 115 socket, you would call bufferevent_read() and bufferevent_write(). 116 117 When read enabled the bufferevent will try to read from the file descriptor 118 and call the read callback. The write callback is executed whenever the 119 output buffer is drained below the write low watermark, which is 0 by 120 default. 121 122 See <event2/bufferevent*.h> for more information. 123 124 @section timers Timers 125 126 Libevent can also be used to create timers that invoke a callback after a 127 certain amount of time has expired. The evtimer_new() macro returns 128 an event struct to use as a timer. To activate the timer, call 129 evtimer_add(). Timers can be deactivated by calling evtimer_del(). 130 (These macros are thin wrappers around event_new(), event_add(), 131 and event_del(); you can also use those instead.) 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. 151 152 @section api API Reference 153 154 To browse the complete documentation of the libevent API, click on any of 155 the following links. 156 157 event2/event.h 158 The primary libevent header 159 160 event2/thread.h 161 Functions for use by multithreaded programs 162 163 event2/buffer.h and event2/bufferevent.h 164 Buffer management for network reading and writing 165 166 event2/util.h 167 Utility functions for portable nonblocking network code 168 169 event2/dns.h 170 Asynchronous DNS resolution 171 172 event2/http.h 173 An embedded libevent-based HTTP server 174 175 event2/rpc.h 176 A framework for creating RPC servers and clients 177 178 */ 179 180 /** @file event2/event.h 181 182 Core functions for waiting for and receiving events, and using event bases. 183 */ 184 185 #include <event2/visibility.h> 186 187 #ifdef __cplusplus 188 extern "C" { 189 #endif 190 191 #include <event2/event-config.h> 192 #ifdef EVENT__HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H 193 #include <sys/types.h> 194 #endif 195 #ifdef EVENT__HAVE_SYS_TIME_H 196 #include <sys/time.h> 197 #endif 198 199 #include <stdio.h> 200 201 /* For int types. */ 202 #include <event2/util.h> 203 204 /** 205 * Structure to hold information and state for a Libevent dispatch loop. 206 * 207 * The event_base lies at the center of Libevent; every application will 208 * have one.
