35  * Provides a base class for implementing asynchronous function results.
36  * 
37  * Asynchronous operations are broken up into two separate operations
38  * which are chained together by a #GAsyncReadyCallback. To begin
39  * an asynchronous operation, provide a #GAsyncReadyCallback to the
40  * asynchronous function. This callback will be triggered when the
41  * operation has completed, and will be passed a #GAsyncResult instance
42  * filled with the details of the operation's success or failure, the
43  * object the asynchronous function was started for and any error codes
44  * returned. The asynchronous callback function is then expected to call
45  * the corresponding "_finish()" function, passing the object the
46  * function was called for, the #GAsyncResult instance, and (optionally)
47  * an @error to grab any error conditions that may have occurred.
48  * 
49  * The "_finish()" function for an operation takes the generic result
50  * (of type #GAsyncResult) and returns the specific result that the
51  * operation in question yields (e.g. a #GFileEnumerator for a
52  * "enumerate children" operation). If the result or error status of the
53  * operation is not needed, there is no need to call the "_finish()"
54  * function; GIO will take care of cleaning up the result and error
55  * information after the #GAsyncReadyCallback returns. You can pass
56  * %NULL for the #GAsyncReadyCallback if you don't need to take any
57  * action at all after the operation completes. Applications may also
58  * take a reference to the #GAsyncResult and call "_finish()" later;
59  * however, the "_finish()" function may be called at most once.
60  * 
61  * Example of a typical asynchronous operation flow:
62  * |[<!-- language="C" -->
63  * void _theoretical_frobnitz_async (Theoretical         *t,
64  * GCancellable        *c,
65  * GAsyncReadyCallback  cb,
66  * gpointer             u);
67  * 
68  * gboolean _theoretical_frobnitz_finish (Theoretical   *t,
69  * GAsyncResult  *res,
70  * GError       **e);
71  * 
72  * static void
73  * frobnitz_result_func (GObject      *source_object,
74  * GAsyncResult *res,
75  * gpointer      user_data)
76  * {
77  * gboolean success = FALSE;
78  * 
79  * success = _theoretical_frobnitz_finish (source_object, res, NULL);
80  * 
81  * if (success)
82  * g_printf ("Hurray!\n");
83  * else
84  * g_printf ("Uh oh!\n");
85  * 
86  * ...
87  * 
88  * }
89  * 
90  * int main (int argc, void *argv[])
91  * {
92  * ...
93  * 
94  * _theoretical_frobnitz_async (theoretical_data,
95  * NULL,
96  * frobnitz_result_func,
97  * NULL);
98  * 
99  * ...
100  * }
101  * ]|
102  * 
103  * The callback for an asynchronous operation is called only once, and is
104  * always called, even in the case of a cancelled operation. On cancellation
105  * the result is a %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED error.
106  * 
107  * ## I/O Priority # {#io-priority}
108  * 
109  * Many I/O-related asynchronous operations have a priority parameter,
110  * which is used in certain cases to determine the order in which
111  * operations are executed. They are not used to determine system-wide
112  * I/O scheduling. Priorities are integers, with lower numbers indicating
113  * higher priority. It is recommended to choose priorities between
114  * %G_PRIORITY_LOW and %G_PRIORITY_HIGH, with %G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT
115  * as a default.
