About:
Tevent is a high-performance event system designed for asynchronous programming, built on top of the robust talloc memory management library. It provides a flexible framework for handling multiple file descriptors and timers efficiently, making it ideal for complex network applications. Its core value lies in delivering reliable, scalable event-driven capabilities often required in enterprise-level software.

Key Features:

Asynchronous event processing
Built on talloc for memory safety
Scalable to large numbers of file descriptors
Flexible callback system

Use Cases:

Building high-performance network servers
Developing asynchronous I/O applications
Integrating event loops into existing C/C++ projects

Alternatives:

libevent – A widely used alternative that provides similar functionality but uses its own memory management rather than talloc.
libuv – A modern, cross-platform alternative often used with Node.js, offering a different API design and threading model.
