+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.
