4. Technical Description

Summary
	This project integrates libevent-1.3e into Solaris
	This project requests a micro/patch binding.
	
4.1 Details
	
	Libevent is an open source event notifications library. The libevent
	API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function when specified
	events occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout. 

	Libevent API abstracts out the event notification mechanism it uses on
	an operating system, enabling portable application development.
	It uses the most efficient event notification mechanism available
	on an operating system. It currently supports /dev/poll, kqueues(2) 
	available on BSD, select(2), poll(2), epoll(4) and Event Ports
	available in Solaris.  On Solaris, by default, it uses Event Ports.
	It is possible to disable support for any of these event notification
	mechanism by setting the relevant environment variable. This is
	documented in the man page.

	In addition, libevent implements interfaces that provide additional
	functionality for embedding an event driven http server and buffered
	events. It also supports callbacks due to signals or regular timeouts.
	These interfaces are also documented in the man pages.

 	Libevent has been developed and maintained by Nick Mathewson and
	Niels Provos - webpage http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent. 
	Many applications already use libevent. The list of applications that
	use libevent currently are listed on the above web page.
	 
4.2 Interface description

        All interfaces that libevent provides are 'Uncommitted'. The man page
	documentation of event(3) describes the interfaces. A formatted
	version of the man page documentation is included in the case
	directory.
