Description

Libevent provides an abstraction layer on top of the regular event API. Using buffered event you don't need to deal with the I/O manually, instead it provides input and output buffers that get filled and drained automatically.

PHP PECL libevent >= 0.0.1

Return value

event_buffer_new() returns new buffered event resource on success or FALSE on error.
