Package: libevent1 (1.1a-1)

An asynchronous event notification library

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.

libevent is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in event driven network servers. Currently, libevent supports kqueue(2) and select(2).
