31   Functions for buffering data for network sending or receiving.  Bufferevents
32   are higher level than evbuffers: each has an underlying evbuffer for reading
33   and one for writing, and callbacks that are invoked under certain
34   circumstances.
35 
36   A bufferevent provides input and output buffers that get filled and
37   drained automatically.  The user of a bufferevent no longer deals
38   directly with the I/O, but instead is reading from input and writing
39   to output buffers.
40 
41   Once initialized, the bufferevent structure can be used repeatedly
42   with bufferevent_enable() and bufferevent_disable().
43 
44   When reading is enabled, the bufferevent will try to read from the
45   file descriptor onto its input buffer, and and call the read callback.
46   When writing is enabled, the bufferevent will try to write data onto its
47   file descriptor when writing is enabled, and call the write callback
48   when the output buffer is sufficiently drained.
49 
50   Bufferevents come in several flavors, including:
51 
52   <dl>
53     <dt>Socket-based bufferevents</dt>
54       <dd>A bufferevent that reads and writes data onto a network
55           socket. Created with bufferevent_socket_new().</dd>
56 
57     <dt>Paired bufferevents</dt>
58       <dd>A pair of bufferevents that send and receive data to one
59           another without touching the network.  Created with
60           bufferevent_pair_new().</dd>
61 
62     <dt>Filtering bufferevents</dt>
63        <dd>A bufferevent that transforms data, and sends or receives it
64           over another underlying bufferevent.  Created with
65           bufferevent_filter_new().</dd>
66 
67     <dt>SSL-backed bufferevents</dt>
68       <dd>A bufferevent that uses the openssl library to send and
69           receive data over an encrypted connection. Created with
70 	  bufferevent_openssl_socket_new() or
71 	  bufferevent_openssl_filter_new().</dd>
