8 * This file defines an event loop interface that supports processing events
9 * from registered timeouts (i.e., do something after N seconds), sockets
10 * (e.g., a new packet available for reading), and signals. eloop.c is an
11 * implementation of this interface using select() and sockets. This is
12 * suitable for most UNIX/POSIX systems. When porting to other operating
13 * systems, it may be necessary to replace that implementation with OS specific
14 * mechanisms.
