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