AIX Open Source Packages | Main / libevent

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. libevent is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in event driven network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch() and can then add or remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.

The library is available as 32-bit and 64-bit:

If you are compiling a 32-bit program, no special compiler options are needed.
If you are compiling a 64-bit program, you have to compile and link your application with "cc -q64" or "gcc -maix64".
