Initial import of Flemming Madsen's LibUEvent
This fork is called libuev and will focus solely on embedded Linux systems using C. Patches for other UNIX-like operating systems are welcome. - Remove Lua support, will not be used. - Rename from LibUEvent to libuev where applicable - Add project's MIT license to top of all files, as is customary - Add a LICENSE file, as is customary This MIT licensed code was cloned from the Mercurial repository at Google http://code.google.com/p/libuevent/ which had mislabled the license as "New BSD License", which is wrong. The actual license of the project is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License Signed-off-by: Joachim Nilsson <troglobit@gmail.com>

libuev - Asynchronous event loop library
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
The libuev library is a small event library in the style of the venerable
|
||||
Xt(3) event loop.
|
||||
|
||||
Basically an event context is created,and handlers for timeounts and stream
|
||||
events can be registered with this context.
|
||||
|
||||
After initial setup, the typical application will enter the event loop that
|
||||
will only return at program termination.
|
||||
|
||||
The C API
|
||||
---------
|
||||
The typical application will do the following steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create the event context with lueCtxtCreate()
|
||||
2. Register initial callbacks with lueAddInput, lueAddOutput and lueAddTimer
|
||||
3. Enter the event loop
|
||||
|
||||
Building
|
||||
--------
|
||||
Use make:
|
||||
|
||||
* make all: The library
|
||||
* make test: Test and showcase
|
||||
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
------------
|
||||
Is purely manual, but would be something along the lines of:
|
||||
sudo install -m 444 libuev.so.1 /usr/lib/libuev.so.1
|
||||
|
||||
Warning
|
||||
-------
|
||||
Not thread safe!
|
||||
|
||||
The ctxt structure needs mutex protection in case of multi threaded
|
||||
access.
