| 33 | @section intro Introduction |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Libevent is an event notification library for developing scalable network |
| 36 | servers. 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_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 inclurde 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 Dispaching evets. |
| 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() function 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 | |
| 131 | @section evdns Asynchronous DNS resolution |
| 132 | |
| 133 | Libevent provides an asynchronous DNS resolver that should be used instead |
| 134 | of the standard DNS resolver functions. See the <event2/dns.h> |
| 135 | functions for more detail. |
| 136 | |
| 137 | @section evhttp Event-driven HTTP servers |
| 138 | |
| 139 | Libevent provides a very simple event-driven HTTP server that can be |
| 140 | embedded in your program and used to service HTTP requests. |
| 141 | |
| 142 | To use this capability, you need to include the <event2/http.h> header in your |
| 143 | program. See that header for more information. |
| 144 | |
| 145 | @section evrpc A framework for RPC servers and clients |
| 146 | |
| 147 | Libevent provides a framework for creating RPC servers and clients. It |
| 148 | takes care of marshaling and unmarshaling all data structures. |

| 220 | * @struct event |
| 221 | * |
| 222 | * Structure to represent a single event. |
| 223 | * |
| 224 | * An event can have some underlying condition it represents: a socket |
| 225 | * becoming readable or writeable (or both), or a signal becoming raised. |
| 226 | * (An event that represents no underlying condition is still useful: you |
| 227 | * can use one to implement a timer, or to communicate between threads.) |
| 228 | * |
| 229 | * Generally, you can create events with event_new(), then make them |
| 230 | * pending with event_add(). As your event_base runs, it will run the |
| 231 | * callbacks of an events whose conditions are triggered. When you |
| 232 | * longer want the event, free it with event_free(). |
| 233 | * |
| 234 | * In more depth: |
| 235 | * |
| 236 | * An event may be "pending" (one whose condition we are watching), |
| 237 | * "active" (one whose condition has triggered and whose callback is about |
| 238 | * to run), neither, or both. Events come into existence via |
| 239 | * event_assign() or event_new(), and are then neither active nor pending. |
| 240 | * |
| 241 | * To make an event pending, pass it to event_add(). When doing so, you |
| 242 | * can also set a timeout for the event. |
| 243 | * |
| 244 | * Events become active during an event_base_loop() call when either their |
| 245 | * condition has triggered, or when their timeout has elapsed. You can |
| 246 | * also activate an event manually using event_active(). The even_base |
| 247 | * loop will run the callbacks of active events; after it has done so, it |
| 248 | * marks them as no longer active. |
| 249 | * |
| 250 | * You can make an event non-pending by passing it to event_del(). This |
| 251 | * also makes the event non-active. |
| 252 | * |
| 253 | * Events can be "persistent" or "non-persistent". A non-persistent event |
| 254 | * becomes non-pending as soon as it is triggered: thus, it only runs at |
| 255 | * most once per call to event_add(). A persistent event remains pending |
| 256 | * even when it becomes active: you'll need to event_del() it manually in |
| 257 | * order to make it non-pending. When a persistent event with a timeout |
| 258 | * becomes active, its timeout is reset: this means you can use persistent |
| 259 | * events to implement periodic timeouts. |
| 260 | * |
| 261 | * This should be treated as an opaque structure; you should never read or |
| 262 | * write any of its fields directly. For backward compatibility with old |
| 263 | * code, it is defined in the event2/event_struct.h header; including this |
| 264 | * header may make your code incompatible with other versions of Libevent. |

| 804 | (respectively). If events contains EV_SIGNAL, then fd is a signal |
