31 Functions for multi-threaded applications using Libevent.
33 When using a multi-threaded application in which multiple threads
34 add and delete events from a single event base, Libevent needs to
35 lock its data structures.
37 Like the memory-management function hooks, all of the threading functions
38 _must_ be set up before an event_base is created if you want the base to
39 use them.
41 Most programs will either be using Windows threads or Posix threads. You
42 can configure Libevent to use one of these event_use_windows_threads() or
43 event_use_pthreads() respectively. If you're using another threading
44 library, you'll need to configure threading functions manually using
45 evthread_set_lock_callbacks() and evthread_set_condition_callbacks().
