+/**
+ * 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:
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * ## I/O Priority # {#io-priority}
+ *
+ * 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 not 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.
