- libevent-2.0-5: Asynchronous event notification library
Libevent is an asynchronous event notification library that provides a
mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs
on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
.
It is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in
event driven network servers. Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll,
kqueue(2), event ports, select(2), poll(2) and epoll(4).
.
For backward compatibility and to transition to "libevent_core only"
or "libevent_core + libevent_extra", the libevent source package builds
the libevent library that includes everything in libevent_core and
libevent_extra.

- libevent-core-2.0-5: Asynchronous event notification library (core)
Libevent is an asynchronous event notification library that provides a
mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs
on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
.
It is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in
event driven network servers. Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll,
kqueue(2), event ports, select(2), poll(2) and epoll(4).
.
The libevent_core library includes event loops, timers, buffer code,
and various small compatibility functions.
.
If you're writing software that only uses libevent's event loop, you
should link against only the libevent_core library.

- libevent-dbg: Asynchronous event notification library (debug symbols)
Libevent is an asynchronous event notification library that provides a
mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs
on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
.
This package includes debugging information for libevent.
- libevent-dev: Asynchronous event notification library (development files)
Libevent is an asynchronous event notification library that provides a
mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs
on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
.
This package includes development files for compiling against libevent.
- libevent-dev-dbgsym: debug symbols for package libevent-dev
Libevent is an asynchronous event notification library that provides a
mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs
on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
.
This package includes development files for compiling against libevent.
- libevent-extra-2.0-5: Asynchronous event notification library (extra)
Libevent is an asynchronous event notification library that provides a
mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs
on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
.
It is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in
event driven network servers. Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll,
kqueue(2), event ports, select(2), poll(2) and epoll(4).
.
The libevent_extra library includes code for HTTP, DNS, RPC, and so
on.
.
If you're writing software that uses libevent's protocol support, you
need to link libevent_core and libevent_extra as well.
- libevent-extra-2.0-5-dbgsym: debug symbols for package libevent-extra-2.0-5

- libevent-openssl-2.0-5: Asynchronous event notification library (openssl)
Libevent is an asynchronous event notification library that provides a
mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs
on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
.
It is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in
event driven network servers. Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll,
kqueue(2), event ports, select(2), poll(2) and epoll(4).
.
There is now a bufferevent type that supports SSL/TLS using the
OpenSSL library. The code for this is build in a separate
library, libevent_openssl, so that your programs don't need to
link against OpenSSL unless they actually want SSL support.

.
If you want threading support and you're using pthreads, you'll need
to link against the libevent_pthreads library in addition to
libevent_core.
