Interesting, could be "libmodule" be useful for such app development as AzPainter[0,1] (based on mlib[2] toolkit)?

Think, adding macOS support is enough.

Windows support un-needed[3] as Windows OS will die soon and it's soul go to clouds[4]. I'm serious[5], really[5]! There is HN thread[7] about it.

I cannot say much about AzPainter, sorry. Libmodule is designed to be flexible enough in managing events, so if you are writing any event driven software and that event exposes a file descriptor, you should be able to use libmodule without any issue.

Indeed, i recently added bsd + osx support in libmodule (https://github.com/FedeDP/libmodule/tree/kqueue_support) even if it is not yet in master. It builds, but I still need to properly test it; expect it to be merged sometime near this weekend.
