[Libevent-users] How does libevent deal with more events than a particular syscall can handle?

For instance, the maximum number of fds usable by select() on Win32
(or other platforms) is low compared to the number of potential
connections needed by a high-throughput HTTP server.

Does libevent call the dispatcher multiple times on different sets of
events? How does the design of the library compensate for this?
