To begin * an asynchronous operation, provide a #GAsyncReadyCallback to the * asynchronous function. This callback will be triggered when the * operation has completed, and must be run in a later iteration of * the [thread-default main context][g-main-context-push-thread-default] * from where the operation was initiated. It 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. * * ## 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. */ typedef GAsyncResultIface GAsyncResultInterface; G_DEFINE_INTERFACE (GAsyncResult, g_async_result, G_TYPE_OBJECT) static void g_async_result_default_init (GAsyncResultInterface *iface) { } /** * g_async_result_get_user_data: * @res: a #GAsyncResult. * * Gets the user data from a #GAsyncResult. * * Returns: (transfer full): the user data for @res. **/ gpointer g_async_result_get_user_data (GAsyncResult *res) { GAsyncResultIface *iface; g_return_val_if_fail (G_IS_ASYNC_RESULT (res), NULL); iface = G_ASYNC_RESULT_GET_IFACE (res); return (* iface->get_user_data) (res); } /** * g_async_result_get_source_object: * @res: a #GAsyncResult * * Gets the source object from a #GAsyncResult. * * Returns: (transfer full) (nullable): a new reference to the source * object for the @res, or %NULL if there is none. */ GObject * g_async_result_get_source_object (GAsyncResult *res) { GAsyncResultIface *iface; g_return_val_if_fail (G_IS_ASYNC_RESULT (res), NULL); iface = G_ASYNC_RESULT_GET_IFACE (res); return (* iface->get_source_object) (res); } /** * g_async_result_legacy_propagate_error: * @res: a #GAsyncResult * @error: (out): a location to propagate the error to. * * If @res is a #GSimpleAsyncResult, this is equivalent to * g_simple_async_result_propagate_error().
