of supporting the widest variety of frameworks possible. But the applications do

of course require something that implements an asynchronous event loop in order

to run, so enter the `event` framework located in `lib/event`. This framework

includes things like spawning one thread per core, pinning each thread to a

unique core, polling and scheduling the lightweight threads, installing signal

handlers to cleanly shutdown, and basic command line option parsing. When

started through spdk_app_start(), the library automatically spawns all of the

threads requested, pins them, and is ready for lightweight threads to be

created. This makes it much easier to implement a brand new SPDK application and

is the recommended method for those starting out. Only established applications

should consider directly integrating the lower level libraries.
