    <title>The SecurityCallbackModule</title>
    <p>The SecurityCallbackModule is a user written module that can receive 
      events from the mod_security Erlang Webserver API module. 
      This module only exports the function(s),
      <seealso marker="#callback_module_event">event/4,5</seealso>, 
      which are described below.
      </p>

      <name>event(What, Port, Dir, Data) -> ignored</name>

        <p><c>event/4</c> or <c>event/4</c> is called whenever an event 
          occurs in the mod_security Erlang Webserver API module (<c>event/4</c> is
          called if Address is undefined and <c>event/5</c> otherwise). 
          The <c>What</c> argument specifies the type of event that has 
          occurred, and should be one of the following reasons; 
          <c>auth_fail</c> (a failed user authentication), 
          <c>user_block</c> (a user is being blocked from access) or 
          <c>user_unblock</c> (a user is being removed from the block list).</p>
        <note>
          <p>Note that the <c>user_unblock</c> event is not triggered when 
            a user is removed from the block list explicitly using the 
            <c>unblock_user</c> function.</p>
