php-doc-en/reference/libevent/functions/event-set.xml
Torben Wilson af4410a7e1 Normalized the sgml-default-dtd-file local-variable line for those
still using this, after discussion on the phpdoc list.
From now on, manual.ced will need to be found at ~/.phpdoc/manual.ced.

<para>
Prepares the event to be used in <function>event_add</function>. The event
is prepared to call the function specified by the <parameter>callback</parameter>
on the events specified in parameter <parameter>events</parameter>, which
is a set of the following flags: <constant>EV_TIMEOUT</constant>,
<constant>EV_SIGNAL</constant>, <constant>EV_READ</constant> and
<constant>EV_WRITE</constant>.
</para>
<para>
After initializing the event, use <function>event_base_set</function> to
associate the event with its event base.
</para>
<para>
In case of matching event, these three arguments are passed to the
<parameter>callback</parameter> function:
