Tevent as such is "just" another event library similar to
libevent or libev or many others. It has two additional
twists: It is based on talloc, and it can pass on the
siginfo signal information. Beyond that's there is not
really much that it adds.

The piece that makes a difference is the tevent_req API.
This enables composable async sequences of events to be
coded in C relatively easy. See
https://tevent.samba.org/group__tevent__request.html for a
quick overview, and source3/winbind/*.c for a lot of
examples how it is used.

With best regards,
