1. Multithreaded Tcp Server

# Compile the program
    gcc server.c wrap.c -o server -Wall -g -lpthread
    gcc client.c wrap.c -o client -Wall -g
# Start the server
    ./server
# Start the client
    ./client
    or using netcat to test
    nc 127.0.0.1 SERVER_PORT
    The letters you type will be capitalized and sent back to you.

2. I/O Multiplexing Server--Epoll

# Compile the program
    gcc server.c wrap.c -o server -Wall -g
    gcc client.c wrap.c -o client -Wall -g
# Start the server
    ./server
# Start the client
    ./client
    or using netcat to test
    nc 127.0.0.1 SERVER_PORT
    The letters you type will be capitalized and sent back to you.

3. Highly Performance I/O Server--Epoll Reactor Pattern

 Use epoll as an edge-triggered (EPOLLET) interface with nonblocking file descriptors.

4. Epoll HTTP Server

# Compile the program
    gcc epoll_server.c -o epoll_server -Wall -g 
# Start the server
    ./epoll_server SERVER_PORT SERVER_DIRECTORY
# Open the browser
    enter URL "127.0.0.1:SERVER_PORT/FILENAME" 

5. Libevent HTTP Server

# Compile the program
    gcc libevent_http.c main.c -o server -Wall -g -levent 
# Start the server
    ./server SERVER_PORT SERVER_DIRECTORY
# Open the browser
    enter URL "127.0.0.1:SERVER_PORT/FILENAME" 

6. Libevent Tcp Server

# Compile the program
    gcc server.c -o server -Wall -g -levent
    gcc client.c wrap.c -o client -Wall -g
# Start the server
    ./server
# Start the client
    ./client
    or using netcat to test
    nc 127.0.0.1 SERVER_PORT
    Anything you type will be echoed back to you.

1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION

Autoconf

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make verify   # (optional)
$ sudo make install

See Documentation/Building#Autoconf for more information

CMake (Windows)

Install CMake: https://www.cmake.org

$ md build && cd build
$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" ..   # Or use any generator you want to use. Run cmake --help for a list
$ cmake --build . --config Release # Or "start libevent.sln" and build with menu in Visual Studio.

See Documentation/Building#Building on Windows for more information

CMake (Unix)

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..     # Default to Unix Makefiles.
$ make
$ make verify  # (optional)

See Documentation/Building#Building on Unix (With CMake) for more information

2. USEFUL LINKS:

For the latest released version of Libevent, see the official website at http://libevent.org/ .

There's a pretty good work-in-progress manual up at http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/ .

For the latest development versions of Libevent, access our Git repository via

$ git clone https://github.com/libevent/libevent.git

You can browse the git repository online at:

To report bugs, issues, or ask for new features:

Patches: https://github.com/libevent/libevent/pulls

OK, those are not really patches. You fork, modify, and hit the "Create Pull Request" button. You can still submit normal git patches via the mailing list.

Bugs, Features [RFC], and Issues: https://github.com/libevent/libevent/issues

Or you can do it via the mailing list.

There's also a libevent-users mailing list for talking about Libevent use and development:
