  31. @section intro Introduction
  32. Libevent is an event notification library for developing scalable network
  33. servers. The Libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback
  34. function when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a
  35. timeout has been reached. Furthermore, Libevent also support callbacks due
  36. to signals or regular timeouts.
  37. Libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven network
  38. servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch() and then add or
  39. remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.
  40. Currently, Libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2),
  41. epoll(4), and evports. The internal event mechanism is completely
  42. independent of the exposed event API, and a simple update of Libevent can
  43. provide new functionality without having to redesign the applications. As a
  44. result, Libevent allows for portable application development and provides
  45. the most scalable event notification mechanism available on an operating
  46. system. Libevent can also be used for multithreaded programs. Libevent
  47. should compile on Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris and, Windows.
  48. @section usage Standard usage
  49. Every program that uses Libevent must inclurde the <event2/event.h>
  50. header, and pass the -levent flag to the linker. (You can instead link
  51. -levent_core if you only want the main event and buffered IO-based code,
  52. and don't want to link any protocol code.)
  53. @section setup Library setup
  54. Before you call any other Libevent functions, you need to set up the
  55. library. If you're going to use Libevent from multiple threads in a
  56. multithreaded application, you need to initialize thread support --
  57. typically by using evthread_use_pthreads() or
  58. evthread_use_windows_threads(). See <event2/thread.h> for more
  59. information.
  60. This is also the point where you can replace Libevent's memory
  61. management functions with event_set_mem_functions, and enable debug mode
  62. with event_enable_debug_mode().
  63. @section base Creating an event base
  64. Next, you need to create an event_base structure, using event_base_new()
  65. or event_base_new_with_config(). The event_base is responsible for
  66. keeping track of which events are "pending" (that is to say, being
  67. watched to see if they become active) and which events are "active".
  68. Every event is associated with a single event_base.
  69. @section event Event notification
  70. For each file descriptor that you wish to monitor, you must create an
  71. event structure with event_new(). (You may also declare an event
  72. structure and call event_assign() to initialize the members of the
  73. structure.) To enable notification, you add the structure to the list
  74. of monitored events by calling event_add(). The event structure must
  75. remain allocated as long as it is active, so it should generally be
  76. allocated on the heap.
  77. @section loop Dispaching evets.
  78. Finally, you call event_base_dispatch() to loop and dispatch events.
  79. You can also use event_base_loop() for more fine-grained control.
  80. Currently, only one thread can be dispatching a given event_base at a
  81. time. If you want to run events in multiple threads at once, you can
  82. either have a single event_base whose events add work to a work queue,
  83. or you can create multiple event_base objects.
  84. @section bufferevent I/O Buffers
  85. Libevent provides a buffered I/O abstraction on top of the regular event
  86. callbacks. This abstraction is called a bufferevent. A bufferevent
  87. provides input and output buffers that get filled and drained
  88. automatically. The user of a buffered event no longer deals directly
  89. with the I/O, but instead is reading from input and writing to output
  90. buffers.
  91. Once initialized via bufferevent_socket_new(), the bufferevent structure
  92. can be used repeatedly with bufferevent_enable() and
  93. bufferevent_disable(). Instead of reading and writing directly to a
  94. socket, you would call bufferevent_read() and bufferevent_write().
  95. When read enabled the bufferevent will try to read from the file descriptor
  96. and call the read callback. The write callback is executed whenever the
  97. output buffer is drained below the write low watermark, which is 0 by
  98. default.
  99. See <event2/bufferevent*.h> for more information.
  100. @section timers Timers
  101. Libevent can also be used to create timers that invoke a callback after a
  102. certain amount of time has expired. The evtimer_new() function returns
  103. an event struct to use as a timer. To activate the timer, call
  104. evtimer_add(). Timers can be deactivated by calling evtimer_del().
  105. @section evdns Asynchronous DNS resolution
  106. Libevent provides an asynchronous DNS resolver that should be used instead
  107. of the standard DNS resolver functions. See the <event2/dns.h>
  108. functions for more detail.
  109. @section evhttp Event-driven HTTP servers
  110. Libevent provides a very simple event-driven HTTP server that can be
  111. embedded in your program and used to service HTTP requests.
  112. To use this capability, you need to include the <event2/http.h> header in your
  113. program. See that header for more information.
  114. @section evrpc A framework for RPC servers and clients
  115. Libevent provides a framework for creating RPC servers and clients. It
  116. takes care of marshaling and unmarshaling all data structures.

  170. * @struct event
  171. *
  172. * Structure to represent a single event.
  173. *
  174. * An event can have some underlying condition it represents: a socket
  175. * becoming readable or writeable (or both), or a signal becoming raised.
  176. * (An event that represents no underlying condition is still useful: you
  177. * can use one to implement a timer, or to communicate between threads.)
  178. *
  179. * Generally, you can create events with event_new(), then make them
  180. * pending with event_add(). As your event_base runs, it will run the
  181. * callbacks of an events whose conditions are triggered. When you
  182. * longer want the event, free it with event_free().
  183. *
  184. * In more depth:
  185. *
  186. * An event may be "pending" (one whose condition we are watching),
  187. * "active" (one whose condition has triggered and whose callback is about
  188. * to run), neither, or both. Events come into existence via
  189. * event_assign() or event_new(), and are then neither active nor pending.
  190. *
  191. * To make an event pending, pass it to event_add(). When doing so, you
  192. * can also set a timeout for the event.
  193. *
  194. * Events become active during an event_base_loop() call when either their
  195. * condition has triggered, or when their timeout has elapsed. You can
  196. * also activate an event manually using event_active(). The even_base
  197. * loop will run the callbacks of active events; after it has done so, it
  198. * marks them as no longer active.
  199. *
  200. * You can make an event non-pending by passing it to event_del(). This
  201. * also makes the event non-active.
  202. *
  203. * Events can be "persistent" or "non-persistent". A non-persistent event
  204. * becomes non-pending as soon as it is triggered: thus, it only runs at
  205. * most once per call to event_add(). A persistent event remains pending
  206. * even when it becomes active: you'll need to event_del() it manually in
  207. * order to make it non-pending. When a persistent event with a timeout
  208. * becomes active, its timeout is reset: this means you can use persistent
  209. * events to implement periodic timeouts.
  210. *
  211. * This should be treated as an opaque structure; you should never read or
  212. * write any of its fields directly. For backward compatibility with old
  213. * code, it is defined in the event2/event_struct.h header; including this
  214. * header may make your code incompatible with other versions of Libevent.
