[Libevent-users] How to get the socket's file descriptor with bufferevents (libevent2)?

[Bas Verhoeven]

Hello,

I'm playing with the libevent2 rot13 server example and I was wondering 
how you can make the server respond to "quit" and then close the socket.

I have looked through various documents but I haven't been able to find 
a way to get the 'fd' for the socket through the "bufferevent" so I 
can't just close() it.

Am I supposed to pass the fd around myself? Or am I simply missing 
something here? Any pointers would be welcome.

Below is a sample, trimmed down, piece code to illustrate my problem:

void readcb(struct bufferevent *bev, void *ctx)
{
   struct evbuffer *input, *output;
   // ...
   input = bufferevent_get_input(bev);
   output = bufferevent_get_output(bev);

   while ((line = evbuffer_readln(input, &n, EVBUFFER_EOL_LF))) {
      
       // ...

       if (!strcmp(line, "quit"))
       {
           evbuffer_add(output, "Bye!");
           // what do I put here?
       }
      
       free(line);
   }
}

Thanks,
Bas Verhoeven
