* from registered timeouts (i.e., do something after N seconds), sockets
* (e.g., a new packet available for reading), and signals. eloop.c is an
* implementation of this interface using select() and sockets. This is
* suitable for most UNIX/POSIX systems. When porting to other operating
* systems, it may be necessary to replace that implementation with OS specific
* mechanisms.
