- * @section Introduction
- *
- * @libevent is a popular API 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. Furthermore, @libevent also support callbacks due
- * to signals or regular timeouts.
- *
- * @eventxx 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 (well, you'll need to link to
- * @libevent too ;). I know @eventxx will work with @libevent 1.1 and 1.2 if you
- * use the @c event_base_free() fix (see \ref Status section for more details).
- *
- * It's designed to be as close to use to @libevent (without compromising
- * modern C++ programming techniques) and efficient (since all implementation
- * is trivial and inline, theoretically, it imposes no overhead at all) as
- * possible.
- *
- * Please, visit the @eventxx website for the latest version of this
- * documentation.

- *
- * @section Usage
- *
- * You probably should read @libevent documentation to get started or at least
- * just for reference, although @eventxx is pretty simple so you can jump right
- * into the \ref Example section (or the example list) and write a working
- * program without much trouble.
- *
- * This wrapper was designed to be used just like @libevent, but with C++ style
- * syntax sugar (or poison, depends on your point of view ;) and goodies. The
- * main difference to libevent is you always 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 simpler, so I hope nobody complains about it ;).
- * See eventxx::dispatcher documentation for more details.
- *
- * You can use use the same plain functions callbacks @libevent use or the other
- * kind of function objects (see @ref events section for details on event
- * types).
- *
- * @eventxx uses @ref exceptions to report errors. All functions have exception
- * specifications, so it's easy to find out what to expect. See @ref exceptions
- * section for more detail.
- *
- * A @c timespec abstraction is provided as eventxx::time for convenient
- * argument passing. Even more, it's a @c timespec itself, with some convenient
- * methods for accessing the attributes with pritier names. 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 (@c 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 have
- * been 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, eventxx::type 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 more examples on the test directory of the distribution or on the
- * examples related page.
- *
- *
- * @section Status
- *
- * This library has not been widely used yet, but it's used in some serious
- * projects, so I think it's moderately stable now. The library has no support
- * for buffered events yet, but patches are welcome. It doesn't support the
- * HTTP stuff, and probably never will because that has nothing to do with
- * event handling.
- *
- * If you notice that when using @eventxx your program leaks some memory, don't
- * blame me, blame @libevent :) @libevent has a known bug on @c event_base_free()
- * that makes it assert always, so @c event_base_free() is 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
- * @c -DEVENTXX_BASE_FREE_FIX so @c event_base_free() gets called in the
- * eventxx::dispatcher @link eventxx::dispatcher::~dispatcher() destructor
- * @endlink.
- *
- * If something is broken it would be really easy to fix because @eventxx is
- * just a simple wrapper around @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 ;).
