  Description     : Event queues OCaml library

  Equeue is an Objective Caml (OCaml) library containing a generic
  implementation of queues of events of any type, and a specific
  implementation of queues of file descriptor events.

  The generic module allows to associate an event queue with an event
  source, and one or several event handlers. The event source generates
  new events that are triggered from the outer world. The handlers
  consume events, but it is allowed that handlers also generate events.

  The module for file descriptor events already defines an event source;
  this source watches registered file descriptors and produces events if
  a descriptor wants to deliver data, or if a descriptor is ready to
  accept data. As in the generic module, the handlers consume the
  events.

  The main application of these modules are implementations of protocol
  stacks which can cooperate with each other.
