   6 ## Read/Write/Error Callback:
   7 * Input: `(bufferevent, what)`
   8         * `bufferevent` - Reference to the bufferevent that raised the callback
   9         * `what` - What happened:
  10                 * == `EVBUFFER_READ` - Buffer contains at least low-watermark length and no more than high-watermark length
  11                 * == `EVBUFFER_WRITE` - Buffer ready to write to
  12                 * (other) - Error condition
  13                         * May be or-ed/added with `EVBUFFER_READ`/`EVBUFFER_WRITE` to specify where it happened
  14                         * `EVBUFFER_ERROR` - Marks error condition (need to look at 'errno' for error.. not exposed yet)
  15                         * `EVBUFFER_TIMEOUT` - Marks activity timeout
  16                         * `EVBUFFER_EOF` - Marks disconnection/end-of-file condition

  18 ## bufferevent.new
  19 * Input: `(fd, read, write, error)`
  20         * `fd` - File descriptor to watch
  21         * `read` - (may be nil) - callback to call when data in buffer is above the low watermark
  22         * `write` - (may be nil) - callback to call when the output buffer contains less data than the low watermark
  23         * `error` - callback to call when there is an erroneous condition
  24
  25 ## bufferevent (__gc)
  26 * Releases the bufferevent
  27         * Disconnects event buffers since they were owned by the bufferevent object in 'C' land
  28         * Disconnects all references so that any erroneous callbacks don't cause failures
