* \page AstGenericEvents Generic event system
*
* Prior to the creation of \ref stasis, the purpose of this API was to provide
* a generic way to share events between Asterisk modules. Once there was a need
* to disseminate data whose definition was provided by the producers/consumers,
* it was no longer possible to use the binary representation in the generic
* event system.
*
* That aside, the generic event system is still useful and used by several
* modules in Asterisk.
* - CEL uses the \ref ast_event representation to pass information to registered
* backends.
* - The \file res_corosync.c module publishes \ref ast_event representations of
* information to other Asterisk instances in a cluster.
* - Security event represent their event types and data using this system.
* - Theoretically, any \ref stasis message can use this system to pass
* information around in a binary format.
*
* Events have an associated event type, as well as information elements. The
* information elements are the meta data that go along with each event. For
* example, in the case of message waiting indication, the event type is MWI,
* and each MWI event contains at least three information elements: the
* mailbox, the number of new messages, and the number of old messages.

* \brief Create a new event
*
* \param event_type The type of event to create
*
* The rest of the arguments to this function specify information elements to
* add to the event. They are specified in the form:
* \code
* <enum ast_event_ie_type>, [enum ast_event_ie_pltype, [payload] ]
* \endcode
* and must end with AST_EVENT_IE_END.
*
* If the ie_type specified is *not* AST_EVENT_IE_END, then it must be followed
* by a valid IE payload type. A payload must also be specified
* after the IE payload type.
*
* \note The EID IE will be appended automatically when this function is used
* with at least one IE specified.
*
* \return This returns the event that has been created. If there is an error
* creating the event, NULL will be returned.
*
* Example usage:
*
* \code
* if (!(event = ast_event_new(AST_EVENT_MWI,
* AST_EVENT_IE_MAILBOX, AST_EVENT_IE_PLTYPE_STR, mailbox,
* AST_EVENT_IE_NEWMSGS, AST_EVENT_IE_PLTYPE_UINT, new,
* AST_EVENT_IE_OLDMSGS, AST_EVENT_IE_PLTYPE_UINT, old,
* AST_EVENT_IE_END))) {
* return;
* }
* \endcode
*
* This creates a MWI event with 3 information elements, a mailbox which is
* a string, and the number of new and old messages, specified as integers.
