In the final step, we call event_base_dispatch function which will run a loop on current thread until there is no more events to handle. Since the thread is busy running the loop, if we want to active an user event, we must do it in a new thread. We should notice that in libevent, we must explicitly set threading support via the evthread_use_pthreads or evthread_use_windows_threads, and we should call evthread_make_base_notifiable function so that event_base can be notified by events on another thread. So, in order to use user event, we need to following things:
- Create an event struct for user event, and add it to the event_base
- Prepare threading for event_base by calling evthread_use_pthreads/evthread_use_windows_threads and evthread_make_base_notifiable
- Start a new thread, and monitor if the user event should be fired
- Call event_active on the user event if the firing condition has been satisfied The structure is shown below:
And here is sample code.

2 This exmple program provides a trivial server program that listens for TCP
3 connections on port 9995. When they arrive, it writes a short message to
4 each client connection, and closes each connection once it is flushed.
5
6 Where possible, it exits cleanly in response to a SIGINT (ctrl-c).
