You can do nearly anything with the evbuffers. I think the only limitations right now are that you shouldn't remove data from the outbuf, you shouldn't add data to the inbuf, and you shouldn't change the callbacks on the buffers. This latter limitation will go away in libevent 2.0. > I'm wrapping bufferevents with a python 'socket module' interface, and must > accomadate a 'fileobject' interface, which implements readline. > > Also, I want to keep copying to a minimum; maybe using bufferevent is not > the best approach? If you want to try 0-copy stuff with bufferevents, you'll need to wait for Libevent 2.0. Libevent 1.4 doesn't really support that so well. -- Nick _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
