+      '' 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.
