* 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 #GAsyncReady 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()" operation with the
* object the function was called for, and the #GAsyncReady instance, and optionally,
* 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 with the object the function
* was called for, and the #GAsyncResult instance, and optionally,
* an @error to grab any error conditions that may have occurred.
*
* The purpose of the "_finish()" function is to take the generic
* result of type #GAsyncResult and return 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.
