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. It is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in event-driven network servers.

libevent - an event notification library 

Libev is a high-performance event loop, supporting eight event types (I/O, real time timers, wall clock timers, signals, child status changes, idle, check and prepare handlers). It uses a priority queue to manage timers and uses arrays as fundamental data structure. It has no artificial limitations on the number of watchers waiting for the same event.
