I am not so much experienced with libevent but a general pattern is to
accept() a new connection inside the callback registered on the
listening socket descriptor. In that case you get all the client info
you need inside a sockaddr_in structure. IMO you should be looking at
the socket API rather than the libevent one for this functionality.
Perhaps it'd help if you are more specific with what you are trying to
develop.
