+/** @file event2/thread.h
+
+ Functions for multi-threaded applications using Libevent.
+
+ When using a multi-threaded application in which multiple threads
+ add and delete events from a single event base, Libevent needs to
+ lock its data structures.
+
+ Like the memory-management function hooks, all of the threading functions
+ _must_ be set up before an event_base is created if you want the base to
+ use them.
+
+ Most programs will either be using Windows threads or Posix threads. You
+ can configure Libevent to use one of these event_use_windows_threads() or
+ event_use_pthreads() respectively. If you're using another threading
+ library, you'll need to configure threading functions manually using
+ evthread_set_lock_callbacks() and evthread_set_condition_callbacks().
