- * @section Introduction
- *
- * The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function when a
- * specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been
- * reached. Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due to signals or
- * regular timeouts.
- *
- * libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven network
- * servers. An application just needs to call dispatcher::dispatch() and then
- * add or remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.
- *
- * Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2) and
- * epoll(4). It also has experimental support for real-time signals. The
- * internal event mechanism is completely independent of the exposed event API,
- * and a simple update of libevent can provide new functionality without having
- * to redesign the applications. As a result, Libevent allows for portable
- * application development and provides the most scalable event notification
- * mechanism available on an operating system. Libevent should compile on Linux,
- * *BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows.
- *
- * This is a simple, direct, one-header inline C++ wrapper for libevent. Yes,
- * it's just one header file, so if you want to use it you can just copy the
- * file to your project and you are set.
- *
- * It's designed to be as close to use to libevent (without compromising modern
- * C++ programming techniques) and efficiency (since all implementation is
- * trivial and inline, theoretically, it imposes no overhead at all).
- *
- * Please, visit the <a href="http://www.llucax.com.ar/~luca/eventxx/">eventxx
- * website</a> for the latest documentation.

- *
- * @section Usage
- *
- * This wrapper was designed to be used just like libevent, but with C++ style
- * syntax sugar (or poisson, depends on your point of view ;) and goodies. The
- * main difference to libevent is you allways have to instance a
- * eventxx::dispatcher to get an event loop. There is no implicit global event
- * loop. This adds just an extra line of code for single threaded applications
- * and makes things much more simple. See eventxx::dispatcher documentation for
- * more details.
- *
- * You can use use the same plain functions callbacks or the other kind of
- * function objects (see @link events @endlink section for details on event
- * types).
- *
- * eventxx uses @link exceptions @endlink to report errors. All functions has
- * exception specifications, so it's easy to find out what to expect. See
- * exceptions section for more detail.
- *
- * A timespec abstraction is provided in eventxx::time for convenient argument
- * passing. Even more, it's a timespec itself, with some convenient methods for
- * accessing the timespec attributes in a more C++ way. And even more, eventxx
- * is such a direct mapping that all eventxx::event's are libevent event structs
- * too, so theoretically you can pass a eventxx::event to libevent C functions
- * without much trouble. eventxx::dispatcher is the only class that is not
- * derived from libevent struct (event_base) because this struct it's not
- * defined on the libevent header (just declared).
- *
- * Maybe you shouldn't know this implementation details to keep the abstraction,
- * but this is a basic design goal of this wrapper so there is not much chance
- * that this changes in the future (but use this knowledge with care, you are
- * warned ;).
- *
- * @section Example
- *
- * @code
- * #include <eventxx>
- * #include <iostream>
- * #include <csignal>
- *
- * struct handler
- * {
- * eventxx::dispatcher& d;
- * int i;
- * handler(eventxx::dispatcher& d): d(d), i(0) {}
- * void operator() (int signum, short event)
- * {
- * if (i < 5) std::cout << "keep going...\n";
- * else
- * {
- * std::cout << "done!\n";
- * d.exit();
- * }
- * }
- * };
- *
- * void sighandler(int signum, short event, void* data)
- * {
- * int& i = *static_cast< int* >(data);
- * std::cout << ++i << " interrupts, ";
- * }
- *
- * int main()
- * {
- * eventxx::dispatcher d;
- * handler h(d);
- * eventxx::csignal sigev(SIGINT, sighandler, &h.i);
- * eventxx::signal< handler > e(SIGINT, h);
- * d.add(sigev);
- * d.add(e);
- * d.dispatch();
- * return 0;
- * }
- * @endcode
- *
- * You can see some more examples on the test directory of the distribution or
- * on the examples related page.
- *
- *
- * @section Status
- *
- * This library was not widely used yet, it lack some testing. Because templates
- * are not even compiled when they are used, you can be surprissed if you catch
- * a piece of code that didn't got even compiled yet because the lack of
- * testing. The library has no support for buffered events yet either. It
- * doesn't support the http stuff, and probably never will because that has
- * nothing to do with event handling.
- *
- * If you notice this lib leaks memory, don't blame me, blame libevent :)
- * libevent has a known bug on event_base_free() that makes it assert always, so
- * event_base_free() it's unusable, unless you patch your libevent (for example,
- * using this <a
- * href="http://monkeymail.org/archives/libevent-users/2006-April/000141.html">patch</a>
- * written by Mark D. Anderson and who knows why it's not still applied. If you
- * do so, you can compile your programs with -DEVENT_BASE_FREE_FIX so
- * event_base_free() gets called.
- *
- * That said, I think it's pretty usable anyways. If something is broken it
- * would be really easy to fix it because is just a simple wrapper arround
- * libevent. So, please try it out, and if you have any problems,
- * <a href="mailto:llucax+eventxx@gmail.com">drop me an
- * e-mail</a> and and I'll fix it ASAP (or provide a patch and you will be my
- * best friend ;).
- *
- * Patches to support buffered events are welcome too.
