LIBEVENT
Portable C event-notification library for sockets and timers
BSD-3-Clause
ABOUT
Native servers need one loop for sockets, signals, and timers, but epoll, kqueue, and IOCP APIs differ. libevent wraps those backends so memcached-style services, proxies, and agent workers stay portable without rewriting I/O per OS.
INTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Drive a portable event loop in a C proxy or model gateway
2. Watch sockets and timers without writing epoll and kqueue by hand
3. Port a Unix server to Windows with the same libevent APIs
4. Build a lightweight async client for telemetry or agent callbacks
