Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

An event loop that is loosely modeled after libevent. Features include child/PID watchers, periodic timers based on wallclock (absolute) time (in addition to timers using relative timeouts), as well as epoll/kqueue/event ports/inotify/eventfd/signalfd support, timer management, time jump detection and correction. It can be used as a libevent replacement using its emulation API, or directly embedded into programs. An optional Perl interface is available. This package holds the development files for libev.
