The question makes no sense whatsoever - you don't need to "wait" for
files, because the information is already there, the file *is* known to be
readable or writable at any time, there is no such thing as a readable or
writable event, nor would it make any sense if there was.
What you probably mean is either stat changes (e.g. tail-like
applications), which are supported by libev for a long time now, or
asynchronous I/O, as opposed to event-based I/O, which libev supports just
fine in conjunction with it's async watchers and e.g. libeio.
