libevent Integration Into NetBSD

Posted by timothy on from the what's-happening-and-how-often dept.

Dan writes "Niels Provos says this is a heads up for the upcoming integration of libevent into the NetBSD source tree. Libevent provides a simple API to abstract event notification and handling. Applications are notified via callbacks on IO events, timers and signals. Libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven software."

    One of the apps that use this is named VOMIT which seems to take a libpcap style dump of an Internet Telephone conversation and convert it to a wave. I'd love for some covernmetn spook to use this in a court of law. "Yeah, we got a phone tap, we're gonna use VOMIT".
