[Libevent-users] Question about internal event mechanism

[Jim Tink <jim.tink@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

For the description of libevent:

Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), event ports, select(2), poll(2) and epoll(4). 

Could someone provide a small overview on how libevent supports these? IE Is it based on the operating system or context of when an event is created or something like that? Is it something that I would control as a developer etc?

 

Thanks,

Jim
