-SUMMARY="An event notification library"
-DESCRIPTION="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."
