Description This is the asynchronous version of GInitable; it behaves the same in all ways except that initialization is asynchronous. For more details see the descriptions on GInitable. A class may implement both the GInitable and GAsyncInitable interfaces. Users of objects implementing this are not intended to use the interface method directly; instead it will be used automatically in various ways. For C applications you generally just call g_async_initable_new_async() directly, or indirectly via a foo_thing_new_async() wrapper. This will call g_async_initable_init_async() under the cover, calling back with NULL and a set GError on failure. A typical implementation might look something like this:
