event_base - Structure to hold information and state for a Libevent dispatch loop.

#include <event.h>

Structure to hold information and state for a Libevent dispatch loop.

The event_base lies at the center of Libevent; every application will have one. It keeps track of all pending and active events, and notifies your application of the active ones.

This is an opaque structure; you can allocate one using event_base_new() or event_base_new_with_config().
