Comment(by krkhan):

 Replying to [comment:2 robinson]:
 > Where is the specification for CONF_CHANGED events?  I don't see it in
 control-spec.txt.

 CONF_CHANGED events were committed to the git repo (patch from #1697).
 Section 4.1.17 of control-spec.txt explain the event.

 > Would this be the first multi-line event handled by TorCtl?  Otherwise,
 why the additions to _handle1()?  Why should multi-line events be handled
 this way (e.g. set(codes)), rather than each line separately?

 Yes, it is indeed the first multi-line event handled by TorCtl. set(codes)
 merely ensures that all lines belonging to the multi-line event have the
 same code. Individual lines are parsed after that.

 > I recommend this be implemented under Daemon's rewrite of the event
 handler in ticket #3679.

 Damian shall be able to make a better judgment on whether multi-line event
 parsing should be included in #3679's fix.
