 * @short_description: I/O Scheduler
 * @include: gio/gio.h
 * 
 * Schedules asynchronous I/O operations. #GIOScheduler integrates 
 * into the main event loop (#GMainLoop) and uses threads.
 * 
 * <para id="io-priority"><indexterm><primary>I/O priority</primary></indexterm>
 * Each I/O operation has a priority, and the scheduler uses the priorities
 * 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.
