Libevent Starboard Implementation

Libevent is a library that abstracts several methods of multiplexing heterogeneous events into a single event loop. Event sources may include:

• Input/Output
• Timers
• Pipes

Multiplexing methods supported by libevent include:

• epoll()
• kqueue
• POSIX select()
• poll()
• Windows select()
• others...

This implementation only uses a subset of the interface described in libevent 1.4.x, and not any of the new libevent 2.x.x interface. To use this implementation, you must provide a libevent 1.4.x implementation that works on your platform, or just build and use the copy provided, if your version of Starboard included one.
