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.
libevent is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in event driven
network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch() and can
then add or remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop.

This package contains the static libevent library and its header files needed
to compile applications such as stegdetect, etc.
