/**************************************************************************
 * UNIT: File Descriptor (FD) Event Manager
 *
 * OVERVIEW: This unit contains functions to register a FD with the FD
 *           event manager for callbacks when activity is received on that
 *           FD.  Notification of read, write, and exception activity can 
 *           all be registered for individually.  Once a registered FD is
 *           closed by the user, the FD must be unregistered.  To use
 *           the FD Event manager you need to make calls to 
 *           netsnmp_external_event_info() and 
 *           netsnmp_dispatch_external_events() in your event loop to receive
 *           callbacks for registered events.  See snmpd.c and snmptrapd.c 
 *           for examples.
 *
 * LIMITATIONS:

/*
 * External Event Info
 *
 * Description:
 *   Call this function to add an external event fds to your read, write, 
 *   exception fds that your application already has.  When this function
 *   returns, your fd_sets will be ready for select().  It returns the
 *   biggest fd in the fd_sets so far.
 *
 * Input Parameters: None
 *
 * Output Parameters: None
 *
 * In/Out Parameters: 
 *   numfds - The biggest fd so far.  On exit to this function, numfds
 *            could of changed since we pass out the new biggest fd.
 *   readfds - Set of read FDs that we are monitoring.  This function
 *             can modify this set to have more FDs that we are monitoring.
 *   writefds - Set of write FDs that we are monitoring.  This function
 *             can modify this set to have more FDs that we are monitoring.
 *   exceptfds - Set of exception FDs that we are monitoring.  This function
 *             can modify this set to have more FDs that we are monitoring.
 *
 * Return Value: None
 *
 * Side Effects: None

/*
 * Dispatch External Events
 *
 * Description:
 *   Call this function after select returns with pending events.  If any of
 *   them were NETSNMP external events, the registered callback will be called.
 *   The corresponding fd_set will have the FD cleared after the event is
 *   dispatched.
 *
 * Input Parameters: None
 *
 * Output Parameters: None
 *
 * In/Out Parameters: 
 *   count - Number of FDs that have activity.  In this function, we decrement
 *           count as we dispatch an event.
 *   readfds - Set of read FDs that have activity
 *   writefds - Set of write FDs that have activity
 *   exceptfds - Set of exception FDs that have activity 
 *
 * Return Value: None
 *
 * Side Effects: None
