Right; there is no global list of all allocated bufferevents. If you need a way to walk over all bufferevents, you'll need to implement one yourself. It's generally not hard -- just create a linked list of them in whatever associated data structure you're giving them. -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
