-      '' 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.
