/**
 * SECTION:gasyncresult
 * @short_description: Asynchronous Function Results
 * @include: gio/gio.h
 * @see_also: #GTask
 *
 * Provides a base class for implementing asynchronous function results.
 *
 * Asynchronous operations are broken up into two separate operations
 * which are chained together by a #GAsyncReadyCallback. To begin
 * an asynchronous operation, provide a #GAsyncReadyCallback to the
 * asynchronous function. This callback will be triggered when the
 * operation has completed, and will be passed a #GAsyncResult instance
 * filled with the details of the operation's success or failure, the
 * object the asynchronous function was started for and any error codes
 * returned. The asynchronous callback function is then expected to call
 * the corresponding "_finish()" function, passing the object the
 * function was called for, the #GAsyncResult instance, and (optionally)
 * an @error to grab any error conditions that may have occurred.
 *
 * The "_finish()" function for an operation takes the generic result
 * (of type #GAsyncResult) and returns the specific result that the
 * operation in question yields (e.g. a #GFileEnumerator for a
 * "enumerate children" operation). If the result or error status of the
 * operation is not needed, there is no need to call the "_finish()"
 * function; GIO will take care of cleaning up the result and error
 * information after the #GAsyncReadyCallback returns. You can pass
 * %NULL for the #GAsyncReadyCallback if you don't need to take any
 * action at all after the operation completes. Applications may also
 * take a reference to the #GAsyncResult and call "_finish()" later;
 * however, the "_finish()" function may be called at most once.
 *
 * Example of a typical asynchronous operation flow:
 * |[
 * void _theoretical_frobnitz_async (Theoretical         *t,
 *                                   GCancellable        *c,
 *                                   GAsyncReadyCallback *cb,
 *                                   gpointer             u);
 *
 * gboolean _theoretical_frobnitz_finish (Theoretical   *t,
 *                                        GAsyncResult  *res,
 *                                        GError       **e);
 *
 * static void
 * frobnitz_result_func (GObject      *source_object,
 *			 GAsyncResult *res,
 *			 gpointer      user_data)
 * {
 *   gboolean success = FALSE;
 *
 *   success = _theoretical_frobnitz_finish (source_object, res, NULL);
 *
 *   if (success)
 *     g_printf ("Hurray!\n");
 *   else
 *     g_printf ("Uh oh!\n");
 *
 *   /<!-- -->* ... *<!-- -->/
 *
 * }
 *
 * int main (int argc, void *argv[])
 * {
 *    /<!-- -->* ... *<!-- -->/
 *
 *    _theoretical_frobnitz_async (theoretical_data,
 *                                 NULL,
 *                                 frobnitz_result_func,
 *                                 NULL);
 *
 *    /<!-- -->* ... *<!-- -->/
 * }
 * ]|
 *
 * The callback for an asynchronous operation is called only once, and is
 * always called, even in the case of a cancelled operation. On cancellation
 * the result is a %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED error.
 *
 * <para id="io-priority"><indexterm><primary>I/O
 * priority</primary></indexterm> Many I/O-related asynchronous
 * operations have a priority parameter, which is used in certain
 * cases to determine the order in which operations are executed. They
 * are <emphasis>not</emphasis> used to determine system-wide I/O
 * scheduling. Priorities are integers, with lower numbers indicating
 * higher priority. It is recommended to choose priorities between
 * %G_PRIORITY_LOW and %G_PRIORITY_HIGH, with %G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT as a
 * default. </para>
