Lighttpd

Hi, I was going through the lighttpd source code to figure out as to how exactly it services the connections which are made and for that I was going through the source code and I had some questions about it.

1) I was going through the main function in server.c and had a question about the main event loop inside it[_while(!srv_shutdown)_] and it's function exactly because before this main event loop I see a bunch of sockets being made for listening and binded to using network_init and then a call to network_register_fdevents that registers event handlers(handlers which accept all incoming connections) for all the sockets. My question was where inside the main-loop does the processing of the events actually happen, where is it that the event handlers are actually called? I see a fdevent_poll inside the main-loop which dereferences the handler pointers, is this where the processing done?

2) Also, if I am to understand correctly, Lighttpd's frameowrk is similar to nginx where Lighttpd spawns a number of worker processes that are responsible listening on the sockets, servicing requests and calling the appropriate handlers asynchronously. Is this general high-level idea correct or am I missing something?

Thanks again.
