pevents | Win32 events for * nix platforms | Command Line Interface library

pevents is a C++ library typically used in Utilities, Command Line Interface applications. pevents has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

While POSIX condition variables (pthread_cond_t) and WIN32 events both provide the essential building blocks of the synchronization primitives required to write multithreaded code with signaling, the nature of the differences between the two have lent their way towards creating different synchronization and multithreaded-programming paradigms. Developers accustomed to WIN32 events might have a hard time transitioning to condition variables; pevents aims to ease the transition for Windows developers looking to write multithreaded code on *nix by providing a familiar synchronization primitive that will allow them to duplicate the essential features of WIN32 auto/manual-reset events. As mentioned earlier, pevents provides most of the functionality of WIN32 events. The only features not included are only named events and support for security attributes. To the author's best knowledge, this is the only implementation of WIN32 events available for Linux and other posix platforms that provides support for simultaneously waiting on multiple events. Depending on your needs, we've been told that pevents may be used as a lightweight alternative to libuv/libev while still allowing your code to embrace asynchronous event handling with ease.
