Correct. We use the event library (a customized drop of libevent) for
three main things:
1. monitoring file descriptors
2. scheduling timed callbacks (i.e., you can set a callback to fire at
some point in the future)
3. monitoring signals
You can register a callback to occur when these eve
Do you mean the code in OPAL/event? If so, it's a customised libevent. I've
seen it used in OpenMPI to poll/select open sockets, it allows the
programmer register their own callback functions for when this happens. Just
ignore me if this wasn't what you were asking about though :-)

What is the purpose of the event library? I'd happily RTFM if someone
could point me in that direction! :^)
I'm guessing it's to check occasionally for "unexpected events", but if
someone could confirm/deny and flesh that picture out a little, I'd
appreciate it.
