;TI"GLibev is modelled (very losely) after libevent and the Event perl
;TI"Mmodule, but is faster, scales better and is more correct, and also more
;TI"(featureful. And also smaller. Yay.
;TI"
;TI"HSome of the specialties of libev not commonly found elsewhere are:
;TI"
;TI"M- extensive and detailed, readable documentation (not doxygen garbage).
;TI"N- fully supports fork, can detect fork in various ways and automatically
;TI";  re-arms kernel mechanisms that do not support fork.
;TI"I- highly optimised select, poll, linux epoll, linux aio, bsd kqueue
;TI")  and solaris event ports backends.
;TI"P- filesystem object (path) watching (with optional linux inotify support).
;TI"?- wallclock-based times (using absolute time, cron-like).
;TI"5- relative timers/timeouts (handle time jumps).
;TI"8- fast intra-thread communication between multiple
;TI"?  event loops (with optional fast linux eventfd backend).
;TI"C- extremely easy to embed (fully documented, no dependencies,
;TI")  autoconf supported but optional).
;TI"=- very small codebase, no bloated library, simple code.
;TI"C- fully extensible by being able to plug into the event loop,
;TI"F  integrate other event loops, integrate other event loop users.
;TI"G- very little memory use (small watchers, small event loop data).
;TI"E- optional C++ interface allowing method and function callbacks
;TI"/  at no extra memory or runtime overhead.
;TI"E- optional Perl interface with similar characteristics (capable
;TI"'  of running Glib/Gtk2 on libev).
;TI"F- support for other languages (multiple C++ interfaces, D, Ruby,
;TI"-  Python) available from third-parties.
;TI"
;TI"IExamples of programs that embed libev: the EV perl module, node.js,
;TI"Dauditd, rxvt-unicode, gvpe (GNU Virtual Private Ethernet), the
;TI"FDeliantra MMORPG server (http://www.deliantra.net/), Rubinius (a
;TI"Jnext-generation Ruby VM), the Ebb web server, the Rev event toolkit.
