32  * @short_description: Asynchronously failable object initialization interface
33  * @include: gio/gio.h
34  * @see_also: #GInitable
35  *
36  * This is the asynchronous version of #GInitable; it behaves the same
37  * in all ways except that initialization is asynchronous. For more details
38  * see the descriptions on #GInitable.
39  *
40  * A class may implement both the #GInitable and #GAsyncInitable interfaces.
41  *
42  * Users of objects implementing this are not intended to use the interface
43  * method directly; instead it will be used automatically in various ways.
44  * For C applications you generally just call g_async_initable_new_async()
45  * directly, or indirectly via a foo_thing_new_async() wrapper. This will call
46  * g_async_initable_init_async() under the cover, calling back with %NULL and
47  * a set %GError on failure.
48  *
49  * A typical implementation might look something like this:

169  *     of the operation.
170  * @cancellable: optional #GCancellable object, %NULL to ignore.
171  * @callback: a #GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
172  * @user_data: the data to pass to callback function
173  *
174  * Starts asynchronous initialization of the object implementing the
175  * interface. This must be done before any real use of the object after
176  * initial construction. If the object also implements #GInitable you can
177  * optionally call g_initable_init() instead.
178  *
179  * When the initialization is finished, @callback will be called. You can
180  * then call g_async_initable_init_finish() to get the result of the
181  * initialization.
182  *
183  * Implementations may also support cancellation. If @cancellable is not
184  * %NULL, then initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable
185  * object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error
186  * %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If @cancellable is not %NULL, and
187  * the object doesn't support cancellable initialization, the error
188  * %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned.
189  *
190  * As with #GInitable, if the object is not initialized, or initialization
191  * returns with an error, then all operations on the object except
192  * g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are considered to be invalid, and
193  * have undefined behaviour. They will often fail with g_critical() or
194  * g_warning(), but this must not be relied on.
195  *
196  * Implementations of this method must be idempotent: i.e. multiple calls
197  * to this function with the same argument should return the same results.
198  * Only the first call initializes the object; further calls return the result
199  * of the first call. This is so that it's safe to implement the singleton
200  * pattern in the GObject constructor function.
201  *
202  * For classes that also support the #GInitable interface, the default
203  * implementation of this method will run the g_initable_init() function
204  * in a thread, so if you want to support asynchronous initialization via
205  * threads, just implement the #GAsyncInitable interface without overriding
206  * any interface methods.
