The unix answer is pretty good: you should be able to tread a serial port like any other fd, and use it with events and bufferevents and so forth. The windows answer is not so good yet: Libevent does not yet support HANDLEs on windows. There was a thread a little while ago about what work will have to get done to add support: http://archives.seul.org/libevent/users/Mar-2013/msg00017.html was my response, and other messages might be interesting too. Anybody got some good advice for a workaround? yrs, -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
