You can get the fd with bufferevent_get_fd(). How can I check to see if the write buffer is empty? Obviously I'd only want to indicate a shutdown() after all my data had been processed *and* the buffer is empty.
Inside my write callback, when I call struct evbuffer *output = bufferevent_get_output(bev); len=evbuffer_get_length(output); I always get a return length of 0. (I also tried to check the input buffer, but its 0 as well). I assumed it would indicate how much data was left in the backing evbuffer that hadn't been written to the O/S socket buffers. In that case I'd want to indicate my shutdown after I had written all data to the backing evbuffer *and* the evbuffers were empty. Am I missing something obvious? Will the flush() sequence I mentioned before be what I'd want to use once its implemented? Any timeline if thats the case? (2.1 I assume since 2.0 features are locked).
