/**
  Create a new bufferevent.

  libevent provides an abstraction on top of the regular event callbacks.
  This abstraction is called a buffered event.  A buffered event provides
  input and output buffers that get filled and drained automatically.  The
  user of a buffered event no longer deals directly with the I/O, but
  instead is reading from input and writing to output buffers.

  Once initialized, the bufferevent structure can be used repeatedly with
  bufferevent_enable() and bufferevent_disable().

  When read enabled the bufferevent will try to read from the file descriptor
  and call the read callback.  The write callback is executed whenever the
  output buffer is drained below the write low watermark, which is 0 by
  default.

  If multiple bases are in use, bufferevent_base_set() must be called before
  enabling the bufferevent for the first time.

  @param fd the file descriptor from which data is read and written to.
  		This file descriptor is not allowed to be a pipe(2).

         no callback is desired
  @param writecb callback to invoke when the file descriptor is ready for
         writing, or NULL if no callback is desired
  @param errorcb callback to invoke when there is an error on the file
         descriptor

         (readcb, writecb, and errorcb)
