The structure which represents an event. The event_t struct has
several event-related use-cases:
- When used as a parameter to event_add, it represents a class of events, and function_name is the name of the function which will be called whenever an event matching the specified class occurs. This is also how events are stored internally.
- When used as a parameter to event_get, event_remove and event_fire, it represents a class of events, and if the function_name field is non-zero, only events which call the specified function will be returned.
