+Liboop is a low-level event loop management library for POSIX-based
+operating systems. It supports the development of modular, multiplexed
+applications which may respond to events from several sources.
+
+It replaces the "select() loop" and allows the registration of event
+handlers for file and network I/O, timers and signals. Since processes
+use these mechanisms for almost all external communication, liboop can
+be used as the basis for almost any application.
