Hi, I dived into libevent a couple of days ago.
To learn how to use libevent, I've been surfing sorce codes of simple servers in google codes using libevent and found two similar functions to read data from a file descriptor: "evbuffer_read" and "bufferevent_read". The former is to read data from a file descriptor and store it in a buffer(evbuffer). The latter is to read data from a bufferevent and store it in a buffer(void *). >From my perspective, they are all same. I mean they use a different way but they actually accomplish the same goal which is to get data from a file descriptor. ( Although the latter doesn't read data directly from a file descriptor, bufferevent's internal buffer is automatically filled with data from a file descriptor.) Now, my question is in what kinda situation should I use the former or the latter function ? Thanks in advance. -wolfgang _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
