/**
   @file event2/bufferevent.h

  Functions for buffering data for network sending or receiving.  Bufferevents
  are higher level than evbuffers: each has an underlying evbuffer for reading
  and one for writing, and callbacks that are invoked under certain
  circumstances.

  A bufferevent provides input and output buffers that get filled and
  drained automatically.  The user of a bufferevent no longer deals
  directly with the I/O, but instead is reading from input and writing
  to output buffers.

  Once initialized, the bufferevent structure can be used repeatedly
  with bufferevent_enable() and bufferevent_disable().

  When reading is enabled, the bufferevent will try to read from the
  file descriptor onto its input buffer, and call the read callback.
  When writing is enabled, the bufferevent will try to write data onto its
  file descriptor when the output buffer has enough data, and call the write
  callback when the output buffer is sufficiently drained.

  Bufferevents come in several flavors, including:

  <dl>
    <dt>Socket-based bufferevents</dt>
      <dd>A bufferevent that reads and writes data onto a network
          socket. Created with bufferevent_socket_new().</dd>

    <dt>Paired bufferevents</dt>
      <dd>A pair of bufferevents that send and receive data to one
          another without touching the network.  Created with
          bufferevent_pair_new().</dd>

    <dt>Filtering bufferevents</dt>
       <dd>A bufferevent that transforms data, and sends or receives it
          over another underlying bufferevent.  Created with
          bufferevent_filter_new().</dd>

    <dt>SSL-backed bufferevents</dt>
      <dd>A bufferevent that uses the openssl library to send and
          receive data over an encrypted connection. Created with
	  bufferevent_openssl_socket_new() or
	  bufferevent_openssl_filter_new().</dd>
