Would it be possible to link that book on
http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ ? I've long googled for such
reference material but didn't find any

Ah cool thanks! I'll try it out.

One think I don't understand about buffer events (I haven't read the
source yet): If i call

struct evbuffer *input = bufferevent_get_input(bev);

and then read the contents of input by calling bufferevent_read, is
there a way to not remove the data from the input buffer? Perhaps I
just want to look at it if it's enought to parse and if not wait for
another call of my echo_read_cb? Or do I have to read the input buffer
into another buffer to preserve it?

If I have to read/write the buffers into each other, are the contents
copied each time?
