# Lev - OCaml bindings to libev

[libev]: http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html

[libevdoc]: http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod

## Abstract

[libev](libev) by Marc Lehmann is a minimal & portable event loop library. This

repository contains two packages. The first is `lev` which offers low level

bindings to this library. The bindings are designed to be minimal, low

overhead, and easily embeddable in larger projects. The API is callback based

so you need to BYOC (bring your own concurrency).

The second package is `lev-fiber`. It provides a more familiar, higher level

API. It is based on dune's fiber library for structured concurrency.

## Example

This example of the low level API lev api:

```ocaml

#include "lev/examples/readme.ml"

```

## Documentation

Lev's API is a thin wrapper around libev itself. So you should first and

foremost refer to libev's extensive [documentation](libevdoc). Lev itself will

document where it differs from libev's conventions.

## License

`vendor/` is under Marc Lehmann's original terms (see vendor/LICENSE).

Everything else is offered under ISC (see src/LICENSE.md).
