@ -117,14 +117,10 @@ framework for all of the example applications it shipped with, in the interest
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.
