I'm wondering, when writing a fuse module to get access to an Internet

As for the question of whether you *should* or *could* use Libevent in
implementing a user-space filesystem... I don't know why you couldn't.
You can get an intro to what libevent can do for you at
http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/ . Only you can decide
whether that functionality is a good fit for your program, though.
Certainly, it can be done;
http://hg.qmsk.net/evfuse.hg/file/0b92d553400a/src/evfuse.h
http://hg.qmsk.net/evfuse.hg/file/0b92d553400a/src/evfuse.c
(fix the code to use your own error handling)
But this requires that you use libfuse's low-level API, since the normal
high-level/path-based API is completely synchronous. But if you're willing to
work with the asynchronous low-level/inode-based API, it's works very well.
