Namespace node.events
Many objects in Node emit events: a net.Server
emits an event each time
a peer connects to it, a fs.readStream
emits an event when the file is
opened. All objects which emit events are instances of events.EventEmitter
.
You can access this module by doing: require("events");
Typically, event names are represented by a camel-cased string, however,
there aren't any strict restrictions on that, as any string will be accepted.
Functions can then be attached to objects, to be executed when an event
is emitted. These functions are called listeners.
