+
+  Functions for buffering data for network sending or receiving.
+
+  An evbuffer can be used for preparing data before sending it to
+  the network or conversely for reading data from the network.
+  Evbuffers try to avoid memory copies as much as possible.  As a
+  result, evbuffers can be used to pass data around without actually
+  incurring the overhead of copying the data.
+
+  A new evbuffer can be allocated with evbuffer_new(), and can be
+  freed with evbuffer_free().  Most users will be using evbuffers via
+  the bufferevent interface.  To access a bufferevent's evbuffers, use
+  bufferevent_get_input() and bufferevent_get_output().
+
+  There are several guidelines for using evbuffers.
+
+  - if you already know how much data you are going to add as a result
+    of calling evbuffer_add() multiple times, it makes sense to use
+    evbuffer_expand() first to make sure that enough memory is allocated
+    before hand.
+
+  - evbuffer_add_buffer() adds the contents of one buffer to the other
+    without incurring any unnecessary memory copies.
+
+  - evbuffer_add() and evbuffer_add_buffer() do not mix very well:
+    if you use them, you will wind up with fragmented memory in your
+	buffer.
+
+  - For high-performance code, you may want to avoid copying data into and out
+    of buffers.  You can skip the copy step by using
+    evbuffer_reserve_space()/evbuffer_commit_space() when writing into a
+    buffer, and evbuffer_peek() when reading.
+
+  In Libevent 2.0 and later, evbuffers are represented using a linked
+  list of memory chunks, with pointers to the first and last chunk in
+  the chain.
+
+  As the contents of an evbuffer can be stored in multiple different
+  memory blocks, it cannot be accessed directly.  Instead, evbuffer_pullup()
+  can be used to force a specified number of bytes to be contiguous. This
+  will cause memory reallocation and memory copies if the data is split
+  across multiple blocks.  It is more efficient, however, to use
+  evbuffer_peek() if you don't require that the memory to be contiguous.

+/**
+   @file event2/bufferevent.h
+
+  Functions for buffering data for network sending or receiving.  Bufferevents
+  are higher level than evbuffers: each has an underlying evbuffer for reading
+  and one for writing, and callbacks that are invoked under certain
+  circumstances.
+
+  A bufferevent provides input and output buffers that get filled and
+  drained automatically.  The user of a bufferevent no longer deals
+  directly with the I/O, but instead is reading from input and writing
+  to output buffers.
+
+  Once initialized, the bufferevent structure can be used repeatedly
+  with bufferevent_enable() and bufferevent_disable().
+
+  When reading is enabled, the bufferevent will try to read from the
+  file descriptor onto its input buffer, and call the read callback.
+  When writing is enabled, the bufferevent will try to write data onto its
+  file descriptor when the output buffer has enough data, and call the write
+  callback when the output buffer is sufficiently drained.
+
+  Bufferevents come in several flavors, including:
+
+  <dl>
+    <dt>Socket-based bufferevents</dt>
+      <dd>A bufferevent that reads and writes data onto a network
+          socket. Created with bufferevent_socket_new().</dd>
+
+    <dt>Paired bufferevents</dt>
+      <dd>A pair of bufferevents that send and receive data to one
+          another without touching the network.  Created with
+          bufferevent_pair_new().</dd>
+
+    <dt>Filtering bufferevents</dt>
+       <dd>A bufferevent that transforms data, and sends or receives it
+          over another underlying bufferevent.  Created with
+          bufferevent_filter_new().</dd>
+
+    <dt>SSL-backed bufferevents</dt>
+      <dd>A bufferevent that uses the openssl library to send and
+          receive data over an encrypted connection. Created with
+	  bufferevent_openssl_socket_new() or
+	  bufferevent_openssl_filter_new().</dd>

+  This function is deprecated.  Use bufferevent_socket_new and

+  Libevent provides an abstraction on top of the regular event callbacks.
+  This abstraction is called a buffered event.  A buffered event provides

+
+  Once initialized, the bufferevent structure can be used repeatedly with

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

+
+/** @file event2/dns.h
+ *
+ * Welcome, gentle reader
+ *
+ * Async DNS lookups are really a whole lot harder than they should be,
+ * mostly stemming from the fact that the libc resolver has never been
+ * very good at them. Before you use this library you should see if libc
+ * can do the job for you with the modern async call getaddrinfo_a
+ * (see http://www.imperialviolet.org/page25.html#e498). Otherwise,
+ * please continue.
+ *
+ * The library keeps track of the state of nameservers and will avoid
+ * them when they go down. Otherwise it will round robin between them.
+ *
+ * Quick start guide:
+ *   #include "evdns.h"
+ *   void callback(int result, char type, int count, int ttl,
+ *		 void *addresses, void *arg);
+ *   evdns_resolv_conf_parse(DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, "/etc/resolv.conf");
+ *   evdns_resolve("www.hostname.com", 0, callback, NULL);
+ *
+ * When the lookup is complete the callback function is called. The
+ * first argument will be one of the DNS_ERR_* defines in evdns.h.
+ * Hopefully it will be DNS_ERR_NONE, in which case type will be
+ * DNS_IPv4_A, count will be the number of IP addresses, ttl is the time
+ * which the data can be cached for (in seconds), addresses will point
+ * to an array of uint32_t's and arg will be whatever you passed to
+ * evdns_resolve.
+ *
+ * Searching:
+ *
+ * In order for this library to be a good replacement for glibc's resolver it
+ * supports searching. This involves setting a list of default domains, in
+ * which names will be queried for. The number of dots in the query name
+ * determines the order in which this list is used.
+ *
+ * Searching appears to be a single lookup from the point of view of the API,
+ * although many DNS queries may be generated from a single call to
+ * evdns_resolve. Searching can also drastically slow down the resolution
+ * of names.
+ *
+ * To disable searching:
+ *   1. Never set it up. If you never call evdns_resolv_conf_parse or
+ *   evdns_search_add then no searching will occur.
+ *
+ *   2. If you do call evdns_resolv_conf_parse then don't pass
+ *   DNS_OPTION_SEARCH (or DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, which implies it).
+ *
+ *   3. When calling evdns_resolve, pass the DNS_QUERY_NO_SEARCH flag.
+ *
+ * The order of searches depends on the number of dots in the name. If the
+ * number is greater than the ndots setting then the names is first tried
+ * globally. Otherwise each search domain is appended in turn.
+ *
+ * The ndots setting can either be set from a resolv.conf, or by calling
+ * evdns_search_ndots_set.
+ *
+ * For example, with ndots set to 1 (the default) and a search domain list of
+ * ["myhome.net"]:
+ *  Query: www
+ *  Order: www.myhome.net, www.
+ *
+ *  Query: www.abc
+ *  Order: www.abc., www.abc.myhome.net
+ *
+ * Internals:
+ *
+ * Requests are kept in two queues. The first is the inflight queue. In
+ * this queue requests have an allocated transaction id and nameserver.
+ * They will soon be transmitted if they haven't already been.
+ *
+ * The second is the waiting queue. The size of the inflight ring is
+ * limited and all other requests wait in waiting queue for space. This
+ * bounds the number of concurrent requests so that we don't flood the
+ * nameserver. Several algorithms require a full walk of the inflight
+ * queue and so bounding its size keeps thing going nicely under huge
+ * (many thousands of requests) loads.
+ *
+ * If a nameserver loses too many requests it is considered down and we
+ * try not to use it. After a while we send a probe to that nameserver
+ * (a lookup for google.com) and, if it replies, we consider it working
+ * again. If the nameserver fails a probe we wait longer to try again
+ * with the next probe.

+
+  @section intro Introduction
+
+  Libevent is an event notification library for developing scalable network
+  servers.  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.
+
+  Libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven network
+  servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch() and then add or
+  remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.
+
+
+  Currently, Libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2),
+  epoll(4), and evports. 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.  Libevent can also be used for multithreaded programs.  Libevent
+  should compile on Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris and, Windows.
+
+  @section usage Standard usage
+
+  Every program that uses Libevent must inclurde the <event2/event.h>
+  header, and pass the -levent flag to the linker.  (You can instead link
+  -levent_core if you only want the main event and buffered IO-based code,
+  and don't want to link any protocol code.)
+
+  @section setup Library setup
+
+  Before you call any other Libevent functions, you need to set up the
+  library.  If you're going to use Libevent from multiple threads in a
+  multithreaded application, you need to initialize thread support --
+  typically by using evthread_use_pthreads() or
+  evthread_use_windows_threads().  See <event2/thread.h> for more
+  information.
+
+  This is also the point where you can replace Libevent's memory
+  management functions with event_set_mem_functions, and enable debug mode
+  with event_enable_debug_mode().
+
+  @section base Creating an event base
+
+  Next, you need to create an event_base structure, using event_base_new()
+  or event_base_new_with_config().  The event_base is responsible for
+  keeping track of which events are "pending" (that is to say, being
+  watched to see if they become active) and which events are "active".
+  Every event is associated with a single event_base.
+
+  @section event Event notification
+
+  For each file descriptor that you wish to monitor, you must create an
+  event structure with event_new().  (You may also declare an event
+  structure and call event_assign() to initialize the members of the
+  structure.)  To enable notification, you add the structure to the list
+  of monitored events by calling event_add().  The event structure must
+  remain allocated as long as it is active, so it should generally be
+  allocated on the heap.
+
+  @section loop Dispaching evets.
+
+  Finally, you call event_base_dispatch() to loop and dispatch events.
+  You can also use event_base_loop() for more fine-grained control.
+
+  Currently, only one thread can be dispatching a given event_base at a
+  time.  If you want to run events in multiple threads at once, you can
+  either have a single event_base whose events add work to a work queue,
+  or you can create multiple event_base objects.
+
+  @section bufferevent I/O Buffers
+
+  Libevent provides a buffered I/O abstraction on top of the regular event
+  callbacks. This abstraction is called a bufferevent. A bufferevent
+  provides input and output buffers that get filled and drained
+  automatically. The user of a buffered event no longer deals directly
+  with the I/O, but instead is reading from input and writing to output
+  buffers.
+
+  Once initialized via bufferevent_socket_new(), the bufferevent structure
+  can be used repeatedly with bufferevent_enable() and
+  bufferevent_disable().  Instead of reading and writing directly to a
+  socket, you would call bufferevent_read() and bufferevent_write().
+
+  When read enabled the bufferevent will try to read from the file descriptor
+  and call the read callback. The write callback is executed whenever the
+  output buffer is drained below the write low watermark, which is 0 by
+  default.
+
+  See <event2/bufferevent*.h> for more information.
+
+  @section timers Timers
+
+  Libevent can also be used to create timers that invoke a callback after a
+  certain amount of time has expired. The evtimer_new() function returns
+  an event struct to use as a timer. To activate the timer, call
+  evtimer_add(). Timers can be deactivated by calling evtimer_del().
+
+  @section evdns Asynchronous DNS resolution
+
+  Libevent provides an asynchronous DNS resolver that should be used instead
+  of the standard DNS resolver functions.  See the <event2/dns.h>
+  functions for more detail.
+
+  @section evhttp Event-driven HTTP servers
+
+  Libevent provides a very simple event-driven HTTP server that can be
+  embedded in your program and used to service HTTP requests.
+
+  To use this capability, you need to include the <event2/http.h> header in your
+  program.  See that header for more information.
+
+  @section evrpc A framework for RPC servers and clients
+
+  Libevent provides a framework for creating RPC servers and clients.  It
+  takes care of marshaling and unmarshaling all data structures.
+
+  @section api API Reference

+ * @struct event
+ *
+ * Structure to represent a single event.
+ *
+ * An event can have some underlying condition it represents: a socket
+ * becoming readable or writeable (or both), or a signal becoming raised.
+ * (An event that represents no underlying condition is still useful: you
+ * can use one to implement a timer, or to communicate between threads.)
+ *
+ * Generally, you can create events with event_new(), then make them
+ * pending with event_add().  As your event_base runs, it will run the
+ * callbacks of an events whose conditions are triggered.  When you
+ * longer want the event, free it with event_free().
+ *
+ * In more depth:
+ *
+ * An event may be "pending" (one whose condition we are watching),
+ * "active" (one whose condition has triggered and whose callback is about
+ * to run), neither, or both.  Events come into existence via
+ * event_assign() or event_new(), and are then neither active nor pending.
+ *
+ * To make an event pending, pass it to event_add().  When doing so, you
+ * can also set a timeout for the event.
+ *
+ * Events become active during an event_base_loop() call when either their
+ * condition has triggered, or when their timeout has elapsed.  You can
+ * also activate an event manually using event_active().  The even_base
+ * loop will run the callbacks of active events; after it has done so, it
+ * marks them as no longer active.
+ *
+ * You can make an event non-pending by passing it to event_del().  This
+ * also makes the event non-active.
+ *
+ * Events can be "persistent" or "non-persistent".  A non-persistent event
+ * becomes non-pending as soon as it is triggered: thus, it only runs at
+ * most once per call to event_add().  A persistent event remains pending
+ * even when it becomes active: you'll need to event_del() it manually in
+ * order to make it non-pending.  When a persistent event with a timeout
+ * becomes active, its timeout is reset: this means you can use persistent
+ * events to implement periodic timeouts.
+ *
+ * This should be treated as an opaque structure; you should never read or
+ * write any of its fields directly.  For backward compatibility with old
+ * code, it is defined in the event2/event_struct.h header; including this
+ * header may make your code incompatible with other versions of Libevent.

+
+  Functions for multi-threaded applications using Libevent.
+
+  When using a multi-threaded application in which multiple threads
+  add and delete events from a single event base, Libevent needs to
+  lock its data structures.
+
+  Like the memory-management function hooks, all of the threading functions
+  _must_ be set up before an event_base is created if you want the base to
+  use them.
+
+  Most programs will either be using Windows threads or Posix threads.  You
+  can configure Libevent to use one of these event_use_windows_threads() or
+  event_use_pthreads() respectively.  If you're using another threading
+  library, you'll need to configure threading functions manually using
+  evthread_set_lock_callbacks() and evthread_set_condition_callbacks().
