[Libevent-users] Using timerfd and signalfd on Linux



Hi there,

Is it possible that libevent 2.0 utilizes timerfd and/or signalfd
provided by recent Linux kernels?

 - timerfd features a better timing resolution (microseconds) than
epoll (milliseconds), and
 - signalfd makes signal handling like reading a file descriptor

Seems libevent already uses eventfd on Linux if it's available, which
it good I think.

Regards,
Shuo Chen
