Simple Echo Client+Server FOR LINUX

Description

Simple Echo Client+Server is a versatile application that utilizes the powerful libevent library developed by Niels Provos. This software is designed to test the performance of event retrieval mechanisms, making it an essential tool for developers and system administrators.

The libevent API provides a robust mechanism for executing callback functions based on specific events occurring on file descriptors or timeouts. Additionally, libevent supports callbacks triggered by signals or regular timeouts, enhancing its flexibility and functionality.

By replacing the event loop commonly found in event-driven network servers, Simple Echo Client+Server simplifies event handling for applications. With the ability to dynamically add or remove events without modifying the event loop, developers can streamline their workflow and enhance application performance.

Libevent offers support for various event notification mechanisms, including /dev/poll, kqueue, event ports, select, poll, and epoll. This versatility ensures compatibility with a wide range of operating systems, including Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows, making it a portable solution for cross-platform development.
