Libevent介绍
在includeevent2event.h中有关于Libevent的介绍，这里简单翻译介绍一下：
Libevent是以事件为驱动的开发可扩展的网络服务端的库。
开放的API设置事件的回调函数，当事件来暂时调用这个回调函数。它还支持信号和定时器。
开发人员仅仅须要简单的add/remove来将事件加入到event loop中，通过event_dispatch驱动event。
Libevent支持 /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2),
epoll(4), and evports。
内部的事件机制和应用接口相互独立，因此内部实现的更新不影响应用程序。
Libevent能够用于多线程。
安装
在官网下载http://libevent.org。我下载了最新版本号libevent-2.0.22-stable.tar.gz。放到文件夹，解压缩tar -zxvf ibevent-2.0.22-stable.tar.gz。
解压后进入文件夹，进行配置。把库安装到/usr文件夹下
./configure --prefix=/usr编译安装
sudo make
sudo make install查看是否成功安装：
ls -al /usr/lib|grep libevent

写各測试程序，编译时要设置參数-levent，连接libevent的库。
