/*
* This sample code shows how to use Libevent to read from a named pipe.
* XXX This code could make better use of the Libevent interfaces.
*
* XXX This does not work on Windows; ignore everything inside the _WIN32 block.
*
* On UNIX, compile with:
* cc -I/usr/local/include -o event-read-fifo event-read-fifo.c \
* -L/usr/local/lib -levent
